Low wind-load antenna

A reduced wind load antenna includes: a radome having front, rear, and side surfaces; upper and lower end caps attached to upper and lower ends of the radome to define an internal cavity; and radiating elements positioned within the internal cavity and configured to transmit and receive radio frequency (RF) signals. The antenna includes at least one airflow separation delaying feature selected from the group consisting of: large radiused corners on the lower end cap; a domed upper end cap; a domed lower end cap; a plurality of protuberances on the front surface; a plurality of protuberances on each of the side surfaces; spiral ridges on the front surface; and a continuous protuberance on each of the side surfaces.
