Mobile network architecture and method of use thereof

Abstract

The disclosure provides an improved antenna that can be employed on wireless communications structures, such as cell towers and vehicles. The disclosed antenna, a miniature technology antenna (MTA), can be a directional antenna that is used for communicating within a defined sector and can be used for communicating with satellites. The disclosure provides an antenna for wireless communications. In one example, the antenna includes: (1) a substantially spherical Luneburg lens, and (2) signal conveyors configured to communicate with corresponding orbiting antennas using radio frequency signals passing though the Luneburg lens. A communications system is also disclosed. In one example, the communications system include: (1) radio equipment, and (2) one or more of the antennas.
