    Abstract:

    This work proposes a design methodology for 3D-printed dielectric lenses capable of focusing within multilayer dielectric media. First, based on ray-focusing principles, a phase compensation formula was derived to enable focusing at arbitrary depths within multilayer media. Then, we designed a W-band multilayer dielectric focusing lens to validate the proposed theory. Full-wave simulation results demonstrate a 14.0 dB enhancement in electromagnetic energy within the focal region compared to the case without a lens. Experimental measurements reveal a similar energy gain of 14.8 dB, showing strong agreement with the simulation outcomes.
