1. An antenna assembly comprises:

  • a substrate having a three-dimensional shaped region;

    a plurality of spiral dipole antenna sections, wherein each spiral dipole antenna section of the plurality of spiral dipole antenna sections is supported by a corresponding section of the three-dimensional shaped region and conforms to the corresponding section of the three-dimensional shaped region such that, collectively, the plurality of spiral dipole antenna sections has an overall shape approximating a three-dimensional shape, wherein the plurality of spiral dipole antenna sections is coupled together in accordance with a coupling configuration; and

    a phase array feeder operable to;

    input, or output, a plurality of phase offset representations of a radio frequency (RF) signal from, or to, the plurality of spiral dipole antenna sections; and

    convert between the plurality of phase offset representations of the RF signal and the RF signal.
