1. A multi-beam antenna assembly comprising:
a first lens antenna and a second lens antenna, wherein each lens antenna comprises a spherical lens, a radiator, and a beam group;
a tilt mechanism configured to move the radiator along a first vertical arc of the spherical lens of the first lens antenna.
wherein the beam group comprises at least a first beam having a first RF band, and a second beam having a second RF band, wherein the first RF band is a low-band (LB) signal, and the second RF band is a high-band (HB) signal;
wherein at least one of the first lens antenna and the second lens antenna comprise at least one port of a plurality of ports;
a MIMO transceiver functionally coupled to at least one port of the plurality of ports as a function of the RF band, wherein the MIMO transceiver is configured to transmit or receive both low-band (LB) and high-band (HB) signals simultaneously; and
wherein the beam group of the first lens antenna and the beam group of the second lens antenna are configured to provide coverage to at least a portion of a common coverage area.
