Abstract
A dielectric encapsulated metal lens includes a planar conductive plate with a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is parallel to the second surface; a plurality of openings from the first surface through the planar conductive plate to the second surface, wherein a longitudinal axis of each opening is perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface, wherein a size of each opening is a function of a position of said each opening on the planar conductive plate; and a dielectric material encapsulating the planar conductive plate and filing the plurality of openings, where the dielectric material forms a top surface and a bottom surface for the metal lens to reduce reflected energy.
