Abstract:
1. An antenna system, comprising: at least one first antenna located on a first portion of a mobile structure that is capable of receiving satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals; and at least one second antenna located on a second portion of the mobile structure that is capable of receiving satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals, wherein the at least one first and second antenna receive the satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals, such that signal reception on the mobile structure is maintained by switching and/or combining the satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals received by the at least one first and second antennas when the satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals being received by the at least one first or second antenna is obstructed and, wherein the satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals are SDARS frequencies ranging from 2320–2345 MHz.
