Abstract
An antenna assembly includes a first antenna having a first length in a height direction, and a second antenna including a reflective surface having a second length in the height direction greater than or equal to the first length. The reflective surface of the second antenna is oriented towards a primary signal reception direction of the first antenna, and the reflective surface is configured to reflect a communication signal associated with the first antenna in order to increase a directional gain of the first antenna in the primary signal reception direction.
