Mitigation of ripple in element pattern of geodesic antenna

An apparatus comprising:

• an inner cone;
• a first outer cone coupled to the inner cone;
• a second outer cone coupled to the first outer cone;
• at least one driven element coupled to the second outer cone and configured to transmit at least one primary ray into a space between the first outer cone and the second outer cone;
• and
• at least one director coupled to the second outer cone and configured to direct the at least one primary ray within the space between the first outer cone and the second outer cone.
