Paraboloidal antennas are common for very high frequencies (VHF) and into the cellular telephone systems and personal communication systems (PCS). Paraboloidal antennas are often used at the base station of either cellular telephone antennas, PCS antennas or both. To avoid possible channel drop out because a sharp focal point of the antenna is misaligned by improper installation or harsh weather conditions. For base stations for cellular telephone systems and/or systems, PCS, a generally paraboloidal antenna that has a less sharp focal point so there is a antenna lower gain, but less relative signal degradation because of weather or other misalignment of the antenna. In such cases, the lower gain, but higher immunity to drop-out more than justifies such arrangements.
A method of making a paraboloidal antenna with a larger focal point, comprising the steps of:
An antenna having a general parabolic shape, comprising:
An antenna comprising:
