Antenna apparatus

Antenna apparatus and a method of providing antenna apparatus. The apparatus comprising: a parabolic dish operable to collect and direct a satellite spectrum electromagnetic signal towards a focal point of the parabolic dish; a converter located at the focal point operable to convert the satellite spectrum electromagnetic signal to an electrical signal, the converter being coupleable to cabling for carrying the electrical signal; wherein the antenna apparatus further comprises: a white space electromagnetic signal radiating element arranged to use the parabolic dish as a white space electromagnetic signal reflector and coupleable to cabling for carrying electrical signals to and from the white space electromagnetic signal radiating element. Aspects recognise that a typical satellite antenna apparatus comprising a parabolic dish and converter, can also act as a part of a white spectrum antenna. In particular, providing a white space spectrum radiating element and positioning it such that the parabolic dish of the satellite antenna can be used as a reflector, a highly directional, high gain white space antenna may be formed. Allowing the combined antenna apparatus to be connectable to suitable feed lines can allow a signal to be fed to, and taken from, each of the two antenna provided as a single piece of antenna apparatus.
