1. An antenna system, comprising:
- an antenna body including a dielectric core, the dielectric core having a single reflective surface, wherein the single reflective surface has a parabolic curve section extended by and a modified aspheric curve section; and
a transmitting element that generates a wireless signal in response to a radio frequency (RF) signal;
wherein the antenna body radiates the wireless signal through an aperture in response to receiving the wireless signal via a feed point of the antenna body, wherein the wireless signal traverses the dielectric core and is reflected by the single reflective surface through the dielectric core to the aperture.
