Abstract :
This article presents the fabrication and experimental validation results of compact size high gain conical horn lens antenna for E-band (71-86GHz) applications. Very promising measured results are obtained in terms of return loss |S<;sub>11<;/sub>|, gain, aperture efficiency, bandwidth and SLL as will be shown in this article. A peak measured gain of 25.8dB, gain improvement 6.5~8.8dB over the gain of the horn without lens, maximum aperture efficiency of 48.8%, SLL<;-15.6dB and |S<;sub>11<;/sub>|<;-10dB for 70-110GHz band.
