The invention provides a novel artificial dielectric lens antenna capable of reducing 5G base stations on a large scale, which belongs to the field of antennas and 5G construction. The novel artificial dielectric lens antenna comprises a cylindrical lens +/-45-degree dual-polarized single-beam antenna and an elliptic cylindrical lens +/-45-degree dual-polarized dual-beam antenna, and is formed bya +/-45-degree dual-polarized single-antenna excitation novel artificial dielectric cylindrical lens. The invention further provides a co-station construction method based on the novel 5G lens antennaand an existing 5G antenna, and the existing 5G antenna comprises a 5G fixed beam antenna and a 5G large-scale antenna (5GmMIMO). The novel 5G lens antenna has the characteristics of high gain, widecoverage and low loss, and is better than a 5G fixed beam antenna. Therefore, on an existing 4G station site, the novel 5G lens antenna can replace an existing 5G fixed beam antenna, and independent construction of 5G base stations can be reduced on a large scale.
