Abstract
Antenna system embodiments are shown which are especially suited for mounting on aircraft and for operation across widely-spaced frequency bands. Embodiments include blade members positioned in a ring arrangement and tuning circuits that are each coupled between a respective pair of the blade members and configured to successively remove blade members from operation as the operational frequency increases.
