A plurality of antenna end-fire antenna feed elements at a corresponding
plurality of locations and oriented in a corresponding plurality of
directions on a third dielectric substrate cooperate with a discrete lens
array comprising a plurality of electromagnetic lens elements, each of
which comprises first and second broadside antenna elements adjacent to
respective first and second dielectric substrates and a conductive layer
therebetween, wherein the conductive layer is adapted with at least one
coupling slot in cooperation with associated first and second broadside
antenna elements so as to provide for a delay element operative between
the first and second broadside antenna elements, wherein the coupling
slots are adapted so that a delay period of at least one of the
electromagnetic lens elements is different from a delay period of at
least another of the electromagnetic lens elements so as to provide for a
nominal focal surface of the dielectric lens.
