Abstract[English] Provided herein are various enhancements for electronically scanned arrays (ESAs) and performance thereof. In an example implementation, an apparatus is provided that includes an ESA and a dielectric lens applied to the ESA. The dielectric lens includes a domed arrangement formed from dielectric material. The dielectric lens advantageously allows beam scan operations performed by the ESA across a directional range to achieve a target performance over a target bandwidth.[French] L'invention concerne diverses améliorations pour des réseaux à balayage électronique (ESA) et leurs performances. Dans un exemple de mise en œuvre, l'invention concerne un appareil qui comprend un ESA et une lentille diélectrique appliquée à l'ESA. La lentille diélectrique comprend un agencement en forme de dôme constitué d'un matériau diélectrique. La lentille diélectrique permet avantageusement des opérations de balayage de faisceau effectuées par l'ESA sur une plage directionnelle pour obtenir des performances cibles sur une bande passante cible.
