large faisceau de réception


Explanation:
Or 'faisceau de réception large'.

Although a faisceau (beam) is more commonly used to describe the characteristics of a transmit antenna, by virtue of the law of reciprocity it applies equally well to receiving antennas and would be the preferred term in a document addressed to specialists.

If the text is for non-specialists, then either of the answers already posted here will be 'near enough' - and perhaps even preferable.
