Abstract
An antenna assembly includes first and second feed antennas and a lens element. The first feed antenna is arranged to transmit outbound radio waves of a transmitter beam. The second feed antenna is arranged to capture a received RF signal. The lens element is arranged to collimate the transmitter beam and to focus the receiver beam. The first and second feed antennas are disposed on a conductive ground plane that is offset from a back end of the lens element by a predefined distance in direction of a center axis of the lens element. A volume between the back end of the lens element and the ground plane comprises material that has a refractive index that is smaller than that of the lens element for converging the outbound and inbound RF beams between the back end of the lens element and the first and second feed antennas.
