Estimating the term…
A lens is configured to be disposed on spaced apart antenna elements of a phased array antenna. The lens includes a first major surface facing away from the elements and an opposite second major surface facing the elements, and opposite first and second end portions extending from the second major surface toward the first major surface and joining the first major surface by opposing first and second joining portions. The first and second major surfaces are substantially planar and parallel respective to a first and a second planar portion. When projected onto a reference plane parallel to the first and second planar portions, a ratio of a total projected area of the first planar portion to a projected area of the lens is at least 0.15, and a ratio of a total projected area of the second planar portion to the projected area of the lens is at least 0.1.
A lens configured to be disposed on and substantially cover a plurality of spaced apart antenna elements of a phased array antenna, the lens comprising;
A lens (20) configured to be disposed on and substantially cover a plurality of spaced apart antenna elements (10) of a phased array antenna (100), the lens comprising;
A lens configured to be disposed on and substantially cover a plurality of spaced apart antenna elements of a phased array antenna, the lens comprising opposing first and second major surfaces, such that in each of mutually orthogonal first and second cross-sectional planes that substantially bisect the lens along mutually orthogonal respective first and second directions, the first and second major surfaces are substantially parallel with each other.
