Design and Simulation of a Concentrated Luneberg Antenna
Luneberg lens is a new generation of antennas that is
developed in the last few years and inserts itself strongly in
Microwaves, Communications and Telescopes area. The idea of this
research is to improve the radiation pattern by decreasing the side
lobes and increasing the main lobe. The new design is proposed to
work in the X-band. The simulated result and analysis are presented.
