Abstract In this paper, we report a complete design and simulation of a quasi-optical millimeter wave imaging system using ZEMAX and FEKO software, respectively. A Fresnel lens and a horn antenna are combined in this this design. Compared to spherical and aspherical lenses, a Fresnel lens can be fabricated much easier at millimeter wavelengths. For focusing millimeter wave radiation, a Fresnel lens can be used to reduce the thickness of the focusing element and to lighten its weight from 25 Kg to 4.5 Kg. A horn antenna with a Gaussian profile and corrugated walls is designed for feeding this system at a central frequency of 94 GHz. The symmetrical radiation pattern of the designed corrugated Gaussian horn in E and H orthogonal planes, its wide bandwidth and low side lobe levels make it a good candidate for feeding a W-band millimeter wave imaging system. The designed quasi-optical imaging system is light-weighted, has high resolution and can be used in detecting hidden objects within a distance of 5 meters with a 30 mm resolution in W-band at a central frequency of 94 GHz.

It is much easier to make a Fresnel lens at millimeter wavelengths compared to spherical and aspherical lenses. The use of Fresnel lens to focus millimeter wave radiation greatly reduces the thickness and also the weight of the focusing element from 25 Kg to 4.5 Kg.

The symmetry of the designed corrugated Gaussian horn radiation pattern in E and H orthogonal planes, its wide bandwidth as well as its low side lobe levels make it a good candidate for feeding a W band millimeter-wave imaging system. The designed quasi-optical imaging system has low weight with high resolution and can be used to detect hidden objects within a distance of 5 meters with 30 mm resolution in W band at 94 GHz central frequency.
