1. An antenna system, comprising:
- an antenna body including a dielectric core, the dielectric core having a 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 a feed point of the antenna body, wherein the wireless signal traverses the dielectric core and is reflected by the reflective surface through the dielectric core to the aperture.
