A multiple flat sided modified Luneburg Lens antenna to provide a broadband and hemi-spherical coverage. The Modified Luneburg Lens antenna has a flat surface at the bottom and quadrilateral/hexagonal/octagonal/decagon/dodecagon flat surfaces at the sides (e.g., “cupcake shaped”) to manipulate the signal directivity of a radio frequency transmission or reception of interest in a plurality of octaves of bandwidth. The antenna may be configured with a Planar Ultra-Wideband Modular Array (PUMA) Antenna array structure with a broadband anti-reflective layer added between the two devices. The anti-reflective layer marries the two devices (lens and PUMA) and creates a broadband impedance matching between the new modified Luneburg lens antenna and dipoles of the PUMA array while maintaining the capability of the system to transmit and receive signals in a plurality of octaves of bandwidth.

A wireless communication device includes a casing having a wireless signal penetrating area, an antenna sending a wireless signal through the wireless signal penetrating area, and an electromagnetic lens assembly including a lens barrel and a lens. The lens barrel has a first end and a second end. The first end is closer to the wireless signal penetrating area than the second end. The lens disposed in the lens barrel has an incident surface and an emission surface on an axis of the lens. The incident surface is a flat surface facing the first end. The emission surface is a convex surface and has a curvature, which is not equal to 0, from a perspective of a first axis perpendicular to the axis of the lens, and has a curvature of 0 from a perspective of a second axis perpendicular to the axis of the lens and the first axis.

Provided is an antenna apparatus which is capable of improving a gain in a specific direction, reducing an unnecessary gain in an angle range, and reducing its height. A radome 220 is formed such that a central portion positioned above a patch array antenna 130 is formed in different shapes in an outer wall and an inner wall. The central portion of the outer wall of the radome 220 is formed in a flat shape, and thus the height of the radome 120 is reduced. On the other hand, the center portion of the inner wall of the radome 220 is formed such that a radome thickness at a position of the radome 220 in directions in which an angle θ is about −45° and about +45° when viewed from the center of the patch array antenna 130 changes stepwise.

A radio frequency antenna array uses lenses and RF elements, to provide ground-based coverage for cellular communication. The antenna array can include two spherical lenses, where each spherical lens has at least two associated RF elements. Each of the RF elements associated with a given lens produces an output beam with an output area. Each lens is positioned with the other lenses in a staggered arrangement. The antenna includes a control mechanism configured to enable a user to move the RF elements along their respective tracks, and automatically phase compensate the output beams produced by the RF elements based on the relative distance between the RF elements.
