Antenna lens
An antenna lens placed within an outer shell having an outer side comprising a circular surface and opposed side dimensioned to fit into an upper end of an antenna, the lens densificated centrically and having antenna ridges in some embodiments. This antenna lens is useful to provide a cost-effective solution to problems associated with relative permittivity.
1 . An antenna lens comprising:
an ASA material formed using a 3D printing process;
a bottom end;
a circular surface;
an outer side dimensioned to insert into an upper end of an antenna;
an opposite side dimensioned to contour a bottom surface of a closed outer shell;
wherein the lens defines one or more cutouts on ridges of the antenna;
wherein the closed outer shell comprises a uniform layer of plastic bonded on a circular surface having a lowest densification and lowest permittivity;
wherein the closed inner layer comprises a 3D-printed plastic and a gyroid shape with a higher densification and highest permittivity;
wherein the lens is housed with two closed inner layers; and
wherein the lens is housed within a closed outer shell.
2 . The lens of claim 1 , wherein the outer shell is conical in shape.
3 . The lens of claim 1 , wherein the lens is layered and comprises one of a circular and an elliptical shape.
