Abstract

Two methods for synthesizing Luneburg lenses based on an inhomogeneous anisotropic dielectric are proposed: using an iterative procedure and a gradient medium model, as well as using a recurrent procedure and a layered medium model. As an example of the application of the proposed methods, a synthesis of two variants of a cylindrical Luneburg lens based on a ring dielectric structure was carried out. It is shown that the method based on the iterative procedure is unstable at small values of the radius. Using numerical modeling by the finite element method, an analysis of two versions of lens antennas based on cylindrical Luneburg lens synthesized using a layered dielectric model and a recurrent procedure is carried out.
