Description
Summary:This paper presents a novel millimeter-wave high-gain single-layer lens antenna design that features a metallic ring as its foundational element. Leveraging characteristic modes analysis, the shape of the structure is systematically optimized. The resulting planar antenna exhibits outstanding radiation performance alongside its simplicity, achieving a gain exceeding 20 dBi at 20.50 GHz, and an aperture efficiency of 63 %). These exceptional performance characteristics make it ideal for applications in 5G and 6G systems. Additionally, the use of a cost-effective manufacturing process increases its potential for widespread adoption in future communication technologies.
