Abstract

ew generation of communication systems have the challenge of providing data in many diverse scenarios with very different hardware requirements. Here, we explore the potential advantages of combining array antennas with domes featuring lens functionality in some use cases. To reduce the computational cost of the lens design, we developed an efficient ray-tracing model. This model calculates radiation patterns while accounting for losses due to absorption and reflections. To demonstrate the potential of this approach, we present a lens designed to increase the gain from 60 degrees.
