Abstract: A lensed antenna system is provided. The lensed antenna system include a first column of radiating elements having a first longitudinal axis and a first azimuth single, and, optionally, a second column of radiating elements having a second longitudinal axis and a second azimuth angle, and a radio frequency lens. The radio frequency lens has a third longitudinal axis. The radio frequency lens is disposed such that the longitudinal axes of the first and second columns of radiating elements are aligned with the longitudinal axis of the radio frequency lens, and such that the azimuth angels of the beams produced by the columns of radiating elements are directed at the radio frequency lens. The multiple beam antenna system further includes a radome housing the columns of radiating elements and the radio frequency lens. There may be more or fewer than two columns of radiating elements.

Abstract: An artificial dielectric material comprising a plurality of blocks of dielectric material, each block have at least one conductive fiber or wire embedded within. A method of making the material is disclosed where a plurality of strands or wires are embedded in dielectric layer which is then chopped in blocks. These blocks then fall randomly into a container in any order or pattern and are glued into a solid layer.
