Abstract
In one embodiment, an antenna for receiving incident electromagnetic (EM) radiation includes a dipole having first and second elements, and a reflector for reflecting the incident EM radiation into reflected EM radiation. The reflector, first element, and second element are configured to orient the first element substantially broadside to the reflected EM radiation and end-fire to the incident EM radiation when the second element is oriented substantially broadside to the incident EM radiation. Conversely, they are configured to orient the second element substantially broadside to the reflected EM radiation and end-fire to the incident EM radiation when the first element is oriented substantially broadside to the incident EM radiation.
