The 2D Linearly Polarized Near-Field Focusing Based on Angularly Discretized Slot Arrays

Optics 2014-04-30 v1

Abstract

A 2-D near-field focusing design is proposed based on the circular slot array waveguide structures, synthesized using the array-factor theory, and demonstrated by full-wave simulations. The principle of beam-focusing is extended to the 2-D angularly discretized configuration using regular center-fed linear slots arranged in a circular pattern. By the mirror image arrangement of the slots, a linearly polarized focus in the near-field of the antenna, with negligible cross-polarization is achieved. Its beam-focusing properties are discussed in details and demonstrated by simulations.
