A three element antenna utilizes a truncated parabolic reflector dish of diameter "d" and focal point "f" and a director plate for receiving and transmitting high frequency signals in conjunction with a substantially horizontal conducting ground plane. The antenna is mounted to a planar transverse end wall, defining the lower truncated end of the parabolic surface, and the antenna elements are proximate to the focal point "f" of the paraboloid that defines the dish. The director plate is positioned at the opening (defining the diameter "d"), is distal to the focal point and the antenna elements, and positions an array of director rods about the antenna elements to focus signals relative to the parabolic surface. The ratio of (f/d) is about 0.01 to about 0.625, and preferably about 0.210.
