Claim Text:
1. An antenna assembly comprising: at least one foam member that is fabricated from a homogenous material, wherein said at least one foam member comprises a first surface and a second surface; and at least one conductive plate comprising a first conductive plate that is coupled to said foam member first surface and said foam member second surface is configured to receive a conductive coating thereon to facilitate at least one electromagnetic wave to be channeled through said antenna assembly in a substantially single direction, wherein said at least one conductive plate comprises a first surface, a second surface, and a plurality of conductive posts that are each integrally formed with said plate second surface such that each of said plurality of conductive posts extends a predefined distance outwardly from said plate second surface, and wherein said first conductive plate has a mass and a diameter that are each substantially proportional to a second mass and a second diameter, respectively, of at least one other conductive plate.
