Abstract
One aspect of the invention relates to a reflective mat useful to provide an electromagnetically reflective surface on a high-frequency radio antenna. In one version of the invention, the reflective mat includes a conductive mat shaped to conform to a signal receiving surface of an antenna core. The conductive mat has a core contacting surface, which is coated with an adhesive material for joining the conductive mat to the receiving surface, and a signal reflecting surface which is coated with a curable finishing material.
