Abstract
A low profile, receiving and/or transmitting antenna is adapted to be mounted onto an interior portion of a building or other structure to receive or transmit radiation through a first dielectric material, such as a window, associated with the building or other structure. The antenna includes a receiving/transmitting horn filled with a second dielectric material and a surface for mounting the antenna to the first dielectric material so that the horn is disposed at a particular angle with respect to a surface of the first dielectric material. A matching layer may be disposed between the first dielectric material and the second dielectric material to provide for a reflectionless match between the first and second dielectric materials.
