Each of these applications employ different feed configurations, lens geometries and require specific feed isolation levels. In these architectures, the mutual coupling between feeds is an important design criteria. This project proposes a theoretical model based on Geometrical Optics and Physical Optics to represent the multiple reflections in a dielectric lens antenna and its impact on the mutual coupling between lens feeders. This model is then employed to study the mutual coupling in architectures with different feed models, edge illumination levels, feed positions, lens diameters and dielectric materials.
