摘要
An analysis of the radiation properties of the Fresnel-zone plate antenna (FZPA) and the parabolic reflector antenna (PRA) is presented using the Kirchhoff diffraction theory. Expressions are derived for the vectorial far-field radiation patterns of both antennas. Some computed co- and cross-polar patterns are shown. The most important differences between the radiation properties of the FZPA and PRA are revealed and discussed. The results of the analysis give good insight into future applications of the FZPA.
