Because of their large mass, waveguide lens antennas have not been widely used in space, in spite of their established superiority to reflector antennas for many aerospace applications. This paper introduces the concept of fabrication of lightweight waveguide lenses using thin, metallized polymer sheets. It also presents preliminary simulation results to substantiate and illustrate the characteristics of lens antennas.
