Abstract :
Arbitrarily high permittivity realized in artificial dielectrics makes it possible to fabricate a very thin lens antenna for the microwave and m/m wave frequency bands. Photolithography technology adopted to make artificial dielectrics help control the permittivity place to place on the lens surface, resulting in a flat antenna different from the conventional convex or concave counterpart.
