A Fast Geometric Optics-Based Design Approach for Dielectric Rod Antennas

A simple and effective dielectric rod antenna design approach based on geometric optics and modal analysis is presented. The tapered antennas from microwave to terahertz can be readily designed with the equations presented in this paper. The radius of antenna is determined by the desired traveling w...
