Frequency-diverse multimode millimetre-wave constant-ϵ r lens-loaded cavity

Abstract This paper presents a physical frequency-diverse multimode lens-loaded cavity, designed and used for the purpose of the direction of arrival (DoA) estimation in millimetre-wave frequency bands for 5G and beyond. The multi-mode mechanism is realized using an electrically-large cavity, genera...
