LENS ANTENNA, LENS ANTENNA ARRAY, RADIO DEVICE AND METHOD PERFORMED BY RADIO DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18039190 titled 'LENS ANTENNA, LENS ANTENNA ARRAY, RADIO DEVICE AND METHOD PERFORMED BY RADIO DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application discloses a lens antenna and a lens antenna array, as well as a radio device and a method performed by the radio device. The lens antenna includes a lens and multiple sets of antenna elements on imaginary surfaces on a lateral side of the lens, with varying distances to a center point of the lens. The lens antenna array consists of multiple lens antennas with antenna elements on the same side of the lenses. The method involves selecting antenna elements when the lens antenna or array operates as transmission or reception antennas.

Original Abstract Submitted
A lens antenna and a lens antenna array are disclosed. A radio device and a method performed by the radio device are also disclosed. The lens antenna may include a lens, and two or more sets of antenna elements which are respectively disposed on two or more imaginary surfaces on a lateral side of the lens. The two or more imaginary surfaces may have different distances to a center point of the lens. The lens antenna array may include a plurality of lens antennas described above. The antenna elements in the plurality of lens antennas may be disposed on a same lateral side of the lenses in the plurality of lens antennas. A method for selecting antenna elements is performed by the radio device controlling the lens antenna or lens antenna array, when the lens antenna or lens antenna array operates as transmission or reception radio antennas.
