How does an RF Lens Work?
An RF Lens, similar to an optical lens, forms or bends Electromagnetic waves through refraction.
By placing a single radiating element on the surface of spherical RF Luneburg Lens, a high-gain signal is created radiating from the opposite side of the spherical lens.
RF Lens Multi-beam Antenna Design: –
Multiple radiating elements can be placed around the same sphere to create multiple, independent, high-gain beams utilizing the same lens.
This allows Lens based antennas to have significant performance improvement as compared to traditional array or dish antenna technology.
Performance and Capacity Improvements: –
RF Lens based antennas can provide significant performance and capacity improvements over traditional antenna technology such as the ability to have; multiple independent beams for high order sectorization, ultra-broadband coverage, high isolation between beams and individual beam tilt capabilities.
