Abstract :
A very thin and flat lens antenna is designed and fabricated using artificial dielectrics. It is conveniently utilized for adding some gain by simply putting it in front of the existing small antenna. The ease of handling would allow us to call it an ldquoad hoc antennardquo. We appreciate the support of Research Center for Information Communication Systems promoted by Ryukoku University.
