Abstract:
A communication device includes a first lens and a feeder array. The first lens has a defined shape, a base, a first tubular membrane connected to the base, and a second membrane arranged as a cap on the first tubular membrane. The feeder array includes a plurality of antenna elements that are positioned in a specified proximal distance from the base of the first lens to receive a first lens-guided beam of input radio frequency (RF) signals through the second membrane of the first lens. The first lens of the defined shape covers the feeder array as a radome enclosure. A distribution of a gain from the received first lens-guided beam of input RF signals is substantially equalized across the feeder array to increase at least a reception sensitivity of the plurality of antenna elements of the feeder array.
