Abstract
An antenna system includes an antenna housing that can be mounted on an exterior fuselage of an aircraft. A radio antenna carried by the antenna housing can communicate with radio devices within a field of view of the radio antenna when mounted on the exterior fuselage. A radio sensor carried by the antenna housing can communicate with radio devices outside the field of view of the radio antenna through an electrically conductive portion of the exterior fuselage.
