Cet article présente une nouvelle méthode d'optimisation de topologie 3D basée sur la méthode du domaine temporel par différences finies (FDTD) pour une antenne à lentille diélectrique. Pour obtenir une lentille optimale avec une frontière lisse, nous appliquons des réseaux gaussiens normalisés (NGnet) à l'optimisation de la topologie 3D. Grâce au procédé proposé, la lentille diélectrique présentant les caractéristiques de rayonnement souhaitées peut être conçue. À titre d'exemple d'optimisation utilisant la méthode proposée, la largeur du faisceau principal est minimisée en supposant une symétrie spatiale. Dans l'optimisation, la lentille est supposée être chargée sur l'ouverture d'une antenne à fente de guide d'ondes et est plus petite par rapport à la longueur d'onde. Il est démontré que la lentille optimisée a une largeur de faisceau de faisceau principal plus étroite que celle de la lentille conventionnelle.

Abstract: This paper reports a novel 3D topology optimization method based on the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method for a dielectric lens antenna. To obtain an optimal lens with smooth boundary, we apply normalized Gaussian networks (NGnet) to 3D topology optimization. Using the proposed method, the dielectric lens with desired radiation characteristics can be designed. As an example of the optimization using the proposed method, the width of the main beam is minimized assuming spatial symmetry. In the optimization, the lens is assumed to be loaded on the aperture of a waveguide slot antenna and is smaller compared with the wavelength. It is shown that the optimized lens has narrower beamwidth of the main beam than that of the conventional lens.
