1. A method to construct a multi-polarized antenna for transmitting and/or receiving radio frequency signals, said method comprising:

  • generating at least two radiative antenna elements each having a first end and a second end and each being tuned to a predetermined radio frequency;

    electrically connecting said second ends of said radiative antenna elements at an apex point such that each radiative antenna element is disposed outwardly away from said apex point at an acute angle relative to and on a first side of an imaginary plane intersecting said apex point;

    positioning an electrically conductive ground plane at and/or to a second side of said imaginary plane; and

    positioning a parasitic conductive reflector to said first side of said imaginary plane and away from said at least two radiative antenna elements.
