1. An antenna system, comprising:
- an antenna body including a dielectric core, the dielectric core having a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface; 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 an opening in the first reflective surface, wherein the wireless signal traverses the dielectric core and is reflected by the second reflective surface through the dielectric core to the first reflective surface and is reflected by the first reflective surface through the dielectric core to the aperture.

Abstract
In accordance with one or more embodiments, a method includes receiving a first wireless signal via a feed point on an antenna body, wherein the antenna body includes a dielectric core having a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface that are spatially aligned in a reflecting telescope configuration; reflecting the first wireless signal via the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface to an aperture of the antenna body; and radiating the first wireless signal from the aperture.
