Abstract
An antenna system having a cylindrical electromagnetic lens configured to guide at least one electromagnetic signal to an emerging area by means of at least a variation in dielectric permittivity, thereby generating a beam output from the emerging area. The antenna system has a dielectric member configured to receive the beam output from the emerging area and to focus the beam in an elevation plane perpendicular to a planar face of the cylindrical electromagnetic lens. The cylindrical electromagnetic lens is received in a conductive mounting, and the mounting carries the dielectric member.
