A 300GHz Dielectric Lens Antenna

In this paper, a 300GHz dielectric lens antenna made of PTFE (Teflon)material is introduced. The antenna is designed to be used in combination with an on-chip antenna which is possible to realize regarding the very short wavelength of the electromagnetic wave at 300GHz frequency. Using this combination in wireless transceivers improves the total antenna gain, and hence, the communication distance. The proposed antenna was measured and compared to a 26dBi horn antenna. The measured gain when the antenna is directly attached to a WR3.4 waveguide is around 21.2dBi.
