Abstract
This work presents a multi lens Quasi-Optical (QO) antenna for energy efficient backhaul/fronthaul links at 300GHz. By operating in the radiative near-field region, the proposed antenna system achieves power spreading loss of only 1dB for a point-to-point (PtP) link of 100m. The simulated antenna directivity is 62dBi and the half-power beamwidth is 0.15 degrees. To satisfy the tight alignment requirements of the envisioned scenario, scanning capability is included through the rotation of a lightweight free-standing silicon (Si) lens. This allows correction for misalignment of ± 2 degrees (or ± 13 beams) with a penalty of 1.8dB in the link’s performance.
