摘要
设计了一种具有广角光束导向的太赫兹梯度折射率(GRIN)双偏振透镜。通过叠加吕尼堡透镜和古特曼透镜的折射率,设计了一种新的GRIN分布,以扩大光束的转向角。研究了吕尼堡透镜与古特曼透镜${\bm{\}}$的叠加比对GRIN透镜扫描性能的影响。新的GRIN发行版有两个不同的用途。该透镜具有良好的平面进给扫描性能,可实现双偏振。利用高精度3d打印技术制作了所提出的透镜,以验证所提出的GRIN分布。制备了孔径为8 mm × 8 mm、厚度为6.4 mm的GRIN透镜。对所提出的透镜进行了测量,以验证在220 GHz下的实现方法。结果表明,所设计的GRIN透镜在垂直偏振和水平偏振下具有±39°和±38°的宽光束扫描角。该镜头的峰值增益为19.2 dBi。垂直偏振和水平偏振的扫描损耗分别为0.5 dB和0.7 dB。
A Terahertz Wide-Angle Beam-Steering 3D-Printed Dual-Polarized GRIN Lens With Planar Focal Surface
A terahertz gradient-index (GRIN) dual-polarized lens with wide-angle beam-steering is designed in this article. A novel GRIN distribution is designed by superimposing the refractive index of the Luneburg lens and the Gutman lens to expand the beam-steering angle. The effects of the superposition ratio of Luneburg lens and Gutman lens ${\bm{\ }}$ on the scanning performance of GRIN lens are studied. The novel GRIN distribution is provided for two different purposes. The lens has good scanning performance with a planar feed, and dual polarization can be achieved. High-precision 3-D printing technology is utilized to fabricate the proposed lens to verify the proposed GRIN distribution. A GRIN lens with an aperture size of 8 mm × 8 mm and a thickness of 6.4 mm was manufactured. The proposed lens is measured to validate the implementation method at 220 GHz. The results show that the proposed GRIN lens has a wide beam scanning angle of ±39° and ±38° in vertical polarization and horizontal polarization, respectively. The lens has a peak gain of 19.2 dBi. The scanning losses of the lens are 0.5 dB for vertical polarization and 0.7 for horizontal polarization, respectively.
