Abstract
A conformable, integrated antenna assembly providing three or more radiating apertures in a single antenna structure is provided. The antenna assembly is adapted to mount flush with the fuselage or other surface of an aircraft or other structure. A range of antenna services, including communications, navigation and IFF (CNI) services, may thus be provided while simultaneously minimizing aerodynamic drag and reducing size, weight and cost.
