Aberrations and Scanning Properties of Some Microwave Lens Systems.

With the aim to improve present microwave lens designs used in radar antennae, three lens systems were designed, built and tested. They are the lens and correcting plate, the thick lens and the sphere. They exhibit geometric forms as described by their names. The lens and correcting plate is a syste...

Description
Summary:With the aim to improve present microwave lens designs used in radar antennae, three lens systems were designed, built and tested. They are the lens and correcting plate, the thick lens and the sphere. They exhibit geometric forms as described by their names. The lens and correcting plate is a system that contains a thin plate that cancels the primary astigmatism present in a lens when the source is at two diametrically opposite positions 24° off the optical axis.
