3D printed antenna with dielectric lens for free-space material characterization method
Horník, Milan ; Láčík, Jaroslav (referee) ; Kaděra, Petr (advisor)
This bachelor´s thesis deals with the free space setup for material permittivity characterization. The workplace includes two horn antennas, two dielectric lenses and sample holder. The work deals with the characteristic properties of materials such as permittivity and permeability. Further, the methods used to determine permittivity are discussed. The next part of the work is focused on a theoretical analysis of the design of a broadband horn antenna with a dielectric lens. The chapter 3D printing and surface treatment deals with the issue of 3D printing and the possibility of applying a conductive layer on the plastic components. The following section presents the calculated and simulated results performed in CST Microwave Studio. In the next chapter, mechanical construction and measurement setup fabrication are discussed. In the end, the achieved results are evaluated.

Antenna system for car radar
Zechmeister, Jaroslav ; Hazdra, Pavel (referee) ; Láčík, Jaroslav (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of lens antennas for automotive radar in 77 GHz bandwidth. The work explains methods of designing waveguides as well as horn antennas and dielectric lens. A simulation of three designed horn antennas is performed in CST Microwave Studio. Antennas with spherical and hyperbolical lens are simulated as well and subsequently optimized for maximal gain. The thesis also investigates effects of the lens permittivity on its properties. Furthermore, the work deals with a design of an antenna system with minimalized antenna coupling. Nylon, ABS and photopolymer lens are designed and compared afterwards. ABS and photopolymer lens were produced by 3D print

Horn antenna with suppressed side-lobe radiation
Kaděra, Petr ; Puskely, Jan (referee) ; Mikulášek, Tomáš (advisor)
This master´s thesis is focused on the ways of possible realisation of the directive horn antenna with suppressed side lobes in the frequency bands 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz. In this thesis a detailed research of the feasible options including parameters comparison and assessment of pros and cons of the particular solutions has been performed. Among the specified technical requirements, the emphasis has been placed on the manufacturing options and low cost availability of the materials applicable for the given antenna. The main part of the thesis deals with the conical horn antenna loaded with a hyperbolic dielectric lens, further the antenna with flat dielectric lens based on a transmitarray and also the integrated elliptical lens antenna. The following part of the thesis deals with the possibilities of characterizing the properties of the dielectric material of the lens.

3D-Printed Lens For High Directional Low-Profile Antenna
Zechmeister, Jaroslav
This contribution focuses on 3D-printed lenses for a high directional low-profile antenna for 77 GHz. Two 3D-printing technologies and two different materials are used for the lens fabrication. A dielectric constant and a conductivity of these materials were measured with a transmission/ reflection measurement method. The realized antennas with the designed lenses have gain more than 27 dBi and angular width of the main lobe below 6˚.

High-Gain Millimeter-Wave Lens Horn Antennas
With Suppressed Side-Lobe Radiation
Kaděra, Petr
The paper introduces high-gain conical lens horn antennas with suppressed side lobes for the frequency band 71-76/81-86 GHz (E-band) which is dedicated for point-to-point communication. Two concepts of dielectric lenses are proposed. The first lens is of hyperbolical shape and the other one is flat with perforation based on a transmitarray. Both of the proposed antennas were simulated in CST MWS. The gain is above 38 dBi and the side-lobes exceed -15 dB level.
