The present invention provides a parabolic dish reflector antenna for wireless communications that is dually polarized for diversity reception purposes while causing minimal visual disturbance for use with cellular base stations and repeaters. The antenna comprises a reflector of paraboloidal shape along both the longitudinal and latitudinal axes of its diameter. The reflector of the antenna is comprised of 4 identical quadrants assembled at the installation site, where each quadrant is made of thin metal ribs with large openings metal mesh stretched and attached to the ribs. The antenna further comprises a feed that is located around the focal point. The antenna feed comprises an open cup-shaped conductive cavity wherein the two orthogonally mounted feeding elements of the antenna located within its volume, are low cost printed circuit board elements.
