Claim:
1. An antenna for use in wireless communications, comprising: a first sub-antenna, comprising a first cylindrical lens and a first emitter that is coupled to the first cylindrical lens, wherein the first cylindrical lens and the first emitter are arranged to provide a first field of view at a first wavelength; a second sub-antenna, comprising a second cylindrical lens and a second emitter that is coupled to the second cylindrical lens, wherein the second cylindrical lens and the second emitter are arranged to provide a second field of view at a second wavelength; and a third sub-antenna, comprising a third cylindrical lens and a third emitter that is coupled to the third cylindrical lens, wherein the third cylindrical lens and the third emitter are arranged to provide a third field of view at a third wavelength, a cable that is communicatively coupled to the first, second, and third emitters by traversing a first gap between the first and second cylindrical lenses and a second gap between the second and third cylindrical lenses, wherein the first, second, and third field of views are non-overlapping, wherein the first, second, and third sub-antennae are arranged vertically along their respective central axes.
