Abstract

Abstract

Luneburg lens antenna is a kind of gradient index lens antenna, but its application is restricted due to certain disadvantages. In recent years, various new-type lens antennas, the most representative of which was planar Luneburg lens, were designed by means of transformation optics and metamaterial theories. In this paper, three transformation optics techniques of lens design including coordinate transformation, conformal mapping and quasi-conformal mapping are summarized and compared. Quasi-conformal mapping has better research and application prospect because of its flexibility in lens design and easy fabrication by all dielectric materials. Principles and procedures of quasi-conformal mapping in lens design are elaborated, and important research fruits about lens transformation and fabrication are introduced. Finally, the research directions of transformation optics lens antenna in the future are proposed.
- lens antenna,
- Luneburg lens,
- transformation optics,
- metamaterial,
- quasi-conformal mapping
