Abstract
An antenna system is disclosed. The antenna system includes at least one first and second antenna. The at least one first antenna is located about a first portion of a mobile structure and is capable of receiving satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals. The at least one second antenna is located about a second portion of a mobile structure and is capable of receiving satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals. Either the at least one first or second antenna receives the satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals and the other of the at least one first or second antenna becomes operative when the satellite and terrestrial re-transmitted satellite signals being received by the at least one first or second antenna is obstructed. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
