An antenna system including one or more a frequency responsive components (FRCs) may employ filters to one or more paths in the antenna system corresponding one or more radiating elements on those paths. The FRCs can block a signal from reaching the radiating elements effectively causing the radiating elements to become non-contributing to the antenna systems radiating pattern performance, and thus, maintain a consistent aperture value associated with the antenna system. In some cases, the FRCs may be configured to block a signal when the antenna system is operating at a particular frequency.
