Abstract
Based on scalar diffraction optics theory, a new type of mm-wave antenna(diffraction antenna) phase-correcting Fresnel zone plate with continuous structure is described in this paper. It has the advantages of thinner thickness, lighter weight and design flexibility. The design theory and space shadow are discussed in details, and the measured results are presented. The results show that the properties of this kind of antenna is closed to paraboloid reflector.
