Antenna system for mobile satellite radio

摘要

An antenna system is disclosed. The antenna system includes at least one first and second antenna. The at least one first antenna is located about a first portion of a mobile structure and is capable of receiving satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals. The at least one second antenna is located about a second portion of a mobile structure and is capable of receiving satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals. Either the at least one first or second antenna receives the satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals and the other of the at least one first or second antenna becomes operative when the satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals being received by the at least one first or second antenna is obstructed.
