Resumen
In this article, we propose an innovative concept to realize flexible and cost-effective array antenna systems for next generation communication systems. The idea is to tailor the performance of an antenna array to different use case scenarios by applying a customized dielectric lens placed in front of the array. By combining a lens with an array, we can improve certain performance properties of the antenna system and adapt it for unique site locations and requirements. Moreover, the lens may also act as a radome, providing mechanical protection from environmental conditions. This study consists of exploring the possibilities of using a lens to increase the gain of the antenna in certain directions: scanning range close to broadside (from 0° to 30°), and extreme scanning ranges (from 60° to 80°).
