Abstract
One embodiment includes a blade antenna system. The system includes a ground plane and a planar substrate material extending orthogonally from the ground plane. The system also includes conductive material coupled to the planar substrate material in a coplanar or parallel manner. The conductive material can correspond to a radiating conductor. A portion of the planar substrate material between an edge of the conductive material and the ground plane can form a notch. The system further includes a magneto-dielectric material (MDM) arranged parallel with the planar substrate material to cover the notch.
