Abstract:
An isotropic antenna system internally mounted in the outermost portion of an aircraft wing and in the elevated winglet or similar vertical member of an aircraft wing. The antenna includes a shaped dielectric substrate including a horizontally oriented section located in the horizontally oriented member of the aircraft wing, a vertically oriented section located in the vertically oriented member of the aircraft wing, a first antenna element on the top surface of the dielectric substrate in the vertically oriented member of the aircraft wing, a second antenna element on the top surface and the bottom surface of the dielectric substrate, an antenna feed point coupled to the first antenna element and to the second antenna element, and a Radio Frequency (RF) energy guide coupled to the second antenna element. When the antenna is implemented and installed it does not substantially alter the appearance or aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft.
