Abstract
An antenna system comprises a wide-band antenna and a lens body. At least a portion of the antenna is placed inside the lens body. The antenna has at least two antenna portions with ends. The antenna portions define a distance between them, which gradually increases towards the ends defining the aperture of the antenna. The lens body has at least two curved sections that merge into a common material section of the lens body. The common material section is located below the aperture of the antenna. Further, a compact antenna test range is described.
