A flat Luneburg lens antenna for Ku-band applications has been designed using ceramic 3-D printing, metamaterial structures, and transformation optics technology, resulting in a significant reduction in lens thickness and weight while maintaining high efficiency. This exploration of ceramic 3-D printing could be a valuable reference for the development of complex ceramic components.
A flat Luneburg lens antenna for Ku-band (12-18 GHz) applications is proposed and designed using ceramic 3-D printing. Metamaterial structures and transformation optics technology are used to realize the gradient dielectric constant, compress the height, and reduce the weight of the Luneburg lens. The proposed 3-D printed Luneburg lens, combined with a 10 dB standard gain horn antenna, obtained an antenna gain up to 19.1 dBi over the operating frequency and the thickness reduction of 78%. In addition, the ability of the flat Luneburg lens to perform passive beam scanning with a limited power loss is achieved. This exploration of ceramic 3-D printing can serve as a reference for the development of ceramic components with complex structures.
