1. A wireless communication apparatus, comprising:
a cylindrical lens having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the cylindrical lens including a power direction corresponding to a curvature of the second surface and a non-power direction that is orthogonal to the power direction; and
a plurality of linear antenna arrays arranged in a parallel configuration proximate to the first surface of the cylindrical lens, wherein each linear antenna array of the plurality of linear antenna arrays includes a respective plurality of antenna array elements and is associated with a corresponding beam angle based on a respective position of each linear antenna array in the parallel configuration relative to the curvature of the second surface of the cylindrical lens.
