ABSTRACT:
An aircraft antenna system integrated into one or more walls of an equipment pod (12) mounted beneath an aircraft (10). The equipment pod (12) has at least one wall with an antenna notch built into it. The antenna notch is tapered or flared toward a wider opening and is bounded on each side by conductive portions of the same pod wall. Other walls of the pod (12) are made from conductive materials, which are in electrical contact with the aircraft structure. The equipment pod (12) provide multiple antenna structures for use in a variety of aircraft applications. Further, use of multiple pods (12) allows an aircraft to be more easily reconfigured for different missions by removing and replacing the equipment pod.
