A ground-based antenna assembly (10) is provided that includes an assembly base (14) defining a substantially horizontal plane (18) and configured for attachment to a residential, commercial or governmental structure. The ground-based antenna (10) also includes a plurality of planar receiving panels (22) having a circular and/or elliptical shape. The plurality of planar receiving panels (22) are radially-spaced about the assembly base (14) and tilted with respect to the substantially horizontal plane (18) for a receiving field-of-view. The ground-based antenna assembly (10) further includes a plurality of planar transmitting panels (26) having a circular and/or elliptical shape. The plurality of planar transmitting panels (26) are radially-spaced about the assembly base (14) and tilted with respect to the substantially horizontal plane (18) for a transmitting field-of-view. In addition, the plurality of transmitting panels (26) are radially offset and nested with respect to the plurality of receiving panels (22). |
