Abstract
The present invention concerns a radio communication antenna comprising a reflector fitted to a first opening of a cylindrical lateral screen and a radome formed by a flexible material covering a second opening of this lateral screen so as to have a protective surface facing the reflector. According to the invention, this kind of antenna is characterized in that the protective surface is curved by the mechanical action of a deformation element of the antenna coming into contact with this protective surface.
