An Experimental Study of Dielectric Rod Antennas for Millimeter-Wave Imaging Applications.

Abstract

In this report, the results of an experimental investigation of dielectric antennas for application in an imaging radar at millimeter wavelengths are presented. Several designs for the antenna were tested for use at 81 or 220 GHz and critical design features for these antennas were studied. A simple design for an imaging radar using dielectric antennas was also implemented and field maps were obtained for a series of simple test objects. Keywords include: Dielectric Antennas; Millimeter and Submillimeter Waves; Imaging Radar.
