  • an arcuate-shaped dielectric substrate formed to fit a horizontal-driveshaft cover of a rotor assembly in a non-fixed-wing aircraft; and

    a set of arcuate-shaped dipoles disposed on the dielectric substrate to conform to the arcuate shape thereof, wherein, the arcuate-shaped dipoles transceive an electromagnetic radiation pattern at a larger angle from a line perpendicular to a lengthwise dimension of the horizontal-driveshaft cover than an electromagnetic radiation pattern transceived by a set of substantially co-planar dipoles of a length equal to a length of the arcuate dipoles and placed in a plane parallel to the lengthwise dimension of the horizontal-driveshaft cover.
