Abstract
An antenna system is disclosed. In embodiments, the antenna system may include a communication sub-system disposed within an aircraft. The communication sub-system may include one or more power supply components configured to generate a direct current (DC) power supply, and a first capacitive coupling device configured to capacitively couple an alternating current (AC) transmit signal to the DC power supply to form an antenna input signal. In embodiments, the antenna system may further include an electrical line configured to transmit the antenna input signal from the communication sub-system to an antenna module. In embodiments, the antenna module may include a second capacitive coupling device configured to de-couple the DC power supply and the AC transmit signal, communication circuitry configured to generate one or more transmission signals based on the AC transmit signal.
