Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments of antenna assemblies for integration with aircraft lighting systems. The antenna assemblies in some embodiments include a ground plane, a patch antenna positioned on the ground plane, and a radome covering the patch antenna. The patch antenna and radome are configured as an annular ring for positioning around a light fixture received through a center opening through each of the ground plane, patch antenna, and radome such that the antenna assembly can mount and connect to the aircraft utilizing the light fixture aperture without the need for a separate antenna aperture.
