Abstract

In order to analyze the receiver gain characteristic of the Soret-type FZPL lens antenna which is operated at 12GHz, TLM method can be applied. The application of the FZPL lens antenna is often use the receiver for satellite TV system, radio telescope, and Geodetic System. Some numerical results computed by TLM method are compared with Kirchhoff's approximation and PO method. The focal characteristic of receiver gain on main axis of the FZPL is mostly shown at the front side, which means that the position of the receiver should be properly calibrated.

위성 TV 시스템, 전파 망원경, 측지 시스템 등에 응용 가능한 Soret 타입 프레넬 존 플레이트 렌즈 안테나의 수신이득 특성을 해석하기 위하여 TLM법으로 계산을 수행하였다. TLM법에 의한 계산결과를 확인하기 위하여 키르히호프 및 PO법에 의한 광학 해와 비교하였다. 계산 결과, 12 GHz대의 FZPL의 중심축 상에서의 수신 특성은 설계 초점거리와 비교하여 짧게 형성되는 것을 확인하였으며, 이는 수신기의 위치가 적절히 조정되어야 하는 것을 의미한다.
