1. A radio frequency (RF) signal receiver, comprising:
a system board comprising a plurality of chips, wherein each chip of the plurality of chips includes a plurality of antennas; and
a system board cover coupled to the system board, wherein the system board cover comprises:
a plurality of lenses, wherein each lens of the plurality of lenses is configured to cover an antenna of the plurality of antennas as a radome enclosure, wherein each lens of the plurality of lenses comprises:
a base;
a first tubular membrane coupled to the base;
a second membrane coupled to the first tubular membrane; and
a support structure coupled to the first tubular membrane, wherein the support structure is configured to facilitate the plurality of lenses to couple to the system board cover;
a feeder array that comprises a plurality of antenna elements at a proximal distance from the base of a lens of the plurality of lenses; and
a height adjuster configured to control the proximal distance between the base of the lens and the system board, wherein the proximal distance of the system board from the base of the lens is less than a focal length of the lens.
