Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, a new type of foam material PolyMethacrylimIde (PMI) is used to design a millimeter-wave Luneburg lens antenna for the detection of complex space environment. By correlating the density of the foam material with the dielectric constant, combined with the working principle of the traditional Luneburg lens antenna, the simulation optimization is carried out, and the function of miniaturized high-gain multi-beam is realized. The simulation results show that the antenna works at 33.7 GHz, the gain can reach 25.65 dBi, and the beam width is 4.17°. This design method provides a new idea for the realization of miniaturized high-gain Luneburg lenses in the future.
