Abstract:
A communication device includes a lens having a defined shape. A feeder array comprising a plurality of antenna elements that are positioned in a specified proximal distance from the lens to receive a lens-guided beam of input radio frequency (RF) signals through the lens. The specified proximal distance is less than a focal length of the lens. The lens covers the feeder array as a radome enclosure. A distribution of a gain from the received lens-guided beam of input RF signals is substantially equalized from a radiation surplus region to a radiation deficient region of the feeder array to increase at least a reception sensitivity of the plurality of antenna elements for at least the lens-guided beam of input RF signals, based on the defined shape of the lens and the specified proximal distance of the feeder array to the lens.
