The results are shown for an array of plasma elements constituting a directional antenna with innovative features. One of the major advantages is the reduced cross section presented to the electromagnetic wave emitted by a radar system, minimizing the detection probability in specific operational bands, thus maximizing the invisibility of the proposed system. / Este trabalho prop?e o uso de lentes de plasma em substitui??o ? cl?ssica lente diel?trica s?lida para focaliza??o de ondas-eletromagn?ticas, com aplica??o em teatros de opera??es militares. Os resultados s?o demonstrados em um arranjo de elementos de plasma, constituindo uma antena direcional de aracter?sticas inovadoras. Um dos principais diferenciais se refere ? reduzida se??o transversal apresentada ? onda eletromagn?tica emitida por sistemas de radar (RCS), minimizando em determinadas bandas de opera??o a probabilidade de detec??o, maximizando, portanto, a invisibilidade do sistema proposto.
