Abstract. The characteristics of multi-beam antennas with a wide angle of view based on planar bifocal two-mirror, mirror-lens and lens systems with optimized parameters are studied using numerical simulation by the finite element method and in the Kirchhoff approximation. The characteristics of a multi-beam antenna based on a three-dimensional dielectric bifocal lens are calculated in the Kirchhoff approximation. The dependence of the gain on the angle of view of a multi-beam antenna prototype based on a planar bifocal dielectric lens has been measured.

Keywords: multi-beam antenna, two-mirror bifocal system, reflex-lens bifocal system, lens bifocal system.

Financing: The work was carried out at the expense of budget financing within the framework of the state task on topic 0030-2019-006.
