I was also wondering why a -51dBm RX sensitivity when an old BridgeWave GE80 did it at -61dBm.
But I know AOptix has been sepc’d into a lot of projects. The hybrid approach is certainly interesting!

Based on the diagrams in the PDF the actual parabolic reflector in the unit is somewhat smaller than a Radiowaves or MTI 60cm antenna tuned for 71-86GHz.
