The present invention provides various wave-guides and support structures that are used in conjunction with feed structures to form compact antennas. Specifically, in one embodiment, the present invention provides a wave-guide design used for connecting the feed of an antenna to various electronics, such as a transmitter or receiver. The wave-guide of this embodiment includes a first end for connecting to the feed and a second end for connection to either a transmitter, receiver, or other electronic components. Importantly, the body of the wave-guide extends in a direction towards the reflector of the antenna so that the second end of the wave-guide is positioned closer to the reflector than the first end of the wave guide. As such, the transmitter or receiver that is connected to the second end of the wave-guide is located in close relationship with the reflector, thereby creating a compact, aesthetically pleasing antenna structure.
