Abstract :
The dielectric metamaterial lens antenna for wide angle beam scanning is discussed as an applicative antenna. The availability of the low-loss structure using dielectric resonator and the cause of the reduction of the antenna efficiency are clarified by the electromagnetic simulations. The validation of the design of the metamaterial lens antenna is clarified through the experiment.
