Method and apparatus for coupling an antenna to a device

An antenna structure, comprising:

• a dielectric antenna comprising a dielectric lens, a dielectric body and a dielectric feedline having a feed point;
• and
• a collar that facilitates aligning a port of a waveguide system to the feed point of the dielectric feedline for facilitating transmission of first electromagnetic waves exchanged between the port and the feed point of the dielectric feedline, the electromagnetic waves guided by the dielectric feedline without requiring an electrical return path, and wherein the electromagnetic waves propagate through the dielectric body of the dielectric antenna to the dielectric lens of the dielectric antenna to generate first near-field wireless signals.

A method, comprising:

• aligning a feed point of a feedline of a dielectric antenna comprising a dielectric lens and a dielectric body with a port of a waveguide system by coupling the feed point to the port of the waveguide system with a coupling device;
• and
• transmitting, by the waveguide system, first electromagnetic waves exchanged between the port and the feed point of the feedline, the electromagnetic waves guided by the feedline of the dielectric antenna without requiring an electrical return path, and wherein the electromagnetic waves propagate through the dielectric body of the dielectric antenna to the dielectric lens of the dielectric antenna to generate first near-field wireless signals.
