Abstract :
An improved antenna for a wireless mobile broadband system (e.g. as realised by Bosch as a demonstrator) is proposed. By means of a shaped dielectric lens the radiation pattern of a primary antenna (e.g. a short helical structure) can be shaped to optimise the power distribution across an indoor cell. The calculated performance of lenses designed for the 30 and 60 GHz bands by using geometric optics shows good agreement with measured results
