Focusing Properties of Fresnel Zone Plate Lens Antennas in the Near-Field Region

TL;DR: In this paper, the focusing properties of FZP lens antennas in the near-field region are presented at the ka-band, where they show displacement of the maximum intensity of the electric field along the axial direction from the focal point toward the antenna aperture.

A Full Electromagnetic Analysis of Grooved-Dielectric Fresnel Zone Plate Antennas for Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Applications

TL;DR: In this article, the body-of-revolution finite-difference time-domain (BOR-FDTD) method was used to analyze the focusing ability of Fresnel zone plate antennas.

A Comparison of the Focusing Properties of a Fresnel Zone Plate With a Doubly-Hyperbolic Lens for Application in a Free-Space, Focused-Beam Measurement System

TL;DR: In this article, a Fresnel zone plate is designed to perform the function of a doubly-hyperbolic lens, and the focusing characteristics of the zone plate and the lens are compared using both measured data and body-of-revolution finite-difference time-domain simulations.

A Systematic Study of Varying Reference Phase in the Design of Circular Fresnel Zone Plate Antennas

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of changing the reference phase from the standard 0deg to any value between 0deg and 180deg was studied using finite difference time domain software to simulate a circular Fresnel zone plate antenna, and it was found that a significant improvement in the level of the first sidelobe could be achieved without sacrificing gain or cross-polarization levels.
