First Claim
Patent Images
1. A communication device, comprising:
- a dielectric antenna including a convex dielectric radome;
a cable comprising a dielectric core coupled to a feed point of the dielectric antenna; and
a transmitter, coupled to the cable, the transmitter facilitating a transmission of first electromagnetic waves, the first electromagnetic waves guided by the dielectric core, without an electrical return path, to the feed point of the dielectric antenna.
