Zusammenfassung:A dual role antenna assembly operable for use with GEO and LEO/MEO satellites has at least two curled inverted-F substantially omnidirectional antennas mounted on a ground plane. The antennas have asymmetrical gain patterns favoring certain sectors and are oriented such that the favored sectors of the different antenna face different directions. A controller selects the antenna for connection to an RF front-end in accordance with predetermined performance criteria.
