Abstract
An aerial device for a vehicle, particularly an aircraft, includes an aerial arrangement and a lens, which includes a first lens area, made of a first material with a first dielectric constant, overlapping the aerial arrangement and a second lens area, made of a second material with a second dielectric constant, overlapping the first lens area, with the second dielectric constant being smaller than the first dielectric constant, and wherein the second lens area extends in a longitudinal direction and in a curve in respect of a vertical direction oriented transverse to the longitudinal direction.
Claims20
An aerial device for a vehicle or an aircraft, the aerial device comprising:
- an aerial arrangement;
- and a lens which comprises:
- a first lens region that covers the aerial arrangement and comprises a first material, the first material having a first dielectric constant;
- and a second lens region that covers the first lens region and comprises a second material, the second material having a second dielectric constant;
- wherein the second dielectric constant is lower than the first dielectric constant;
- wherein the second lens region extends in a shape of an arc in a longitudinal direction and in relation to a height direction directed transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction;
- wherein the first lens region is configured to focus electromagnetic radiation emitted from the aerial arrangement;
- wherein the first dielectric constant is in a range of between 9 and 12;
- and wherein the second dielectric constant is in a range of between 2.1 and 3.
