Abstract:
A ground-based antenna assembly, comprising:an assembly base defining a plane; a plurality of receiving panels having a first conic shape, said plurality of receiving panels radially-spaced a first radial distance from a reference point on said assembly base and tilted at a first angle with respect to said plane of said assembly base for a receiving field-of-view; a plurality of transmitting panels having a second conic shape, said plurality of transmitting panels radially-spaced a second radial distance from said reference point on said assembly base that is greater than said first distance and tilted at a second angle with respect to said plane of said assembly base for a transmitting field-of-view, wherein a first transmitting panel of said plurality of transmitting panels is located between a first receiving panel and a second receiving panel of said plurality of receiving panels such that a lower portion of said first transmitting panel is below an upper portion of said first receiving panel and said second receiving panel.
