1. An antenna arrangement, comprising an antenna mounted inside a radome, a mounting arrangement attached to the radome arranged to mount the antenna arrangement to an antenna platform, wherein:
the antenna is a tapered slot antenna,
the radome has an aerodynamic shape, and
the mounting arrangement comprises two antenna fastening means and an antenna radio frequency connector arranged to interact with corresponding antenna platform fastening means and an antenna platform radio frequency connector arranged on the antenna platform,
wherein the antenna arrangement is arranged on an essentially vertical surface of the antenna platform such that the antenna arrangement is arranged to receive and transmit radio frequency signals that are horizontally polarized and propagates perpendicular to a direction the antenna platform is moving.
