Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2023011717A1] An antenna apparatus (200; 400; 500; 600) comprises an array of radiators (202; 402; 502; 602) and a refractive device (204; 404; 504; 604) having an optical axis (206; 406; 506; 606) that passes through the array of radiators. The array of radiators generates a radio beam. The refractive device widens the radio beam in a first plane (208; 408; 508) and narrows the radio beam in a second plane (210; 410; 510) orthogonal to the first plane. The antenna apparatus may be configured for beam scanning, especially for beam scanning in a wide angular range in the first plane. The antenna apparatus may be employed notably for wireless radio frequency communication.
