1. An antenna system comprising:
a low noise amplifier;
a diplexer comprising a first input port, a second input port, and an output port connected to the low noise amplifier;
a multi-band antenna component configured to receive at least one signal, the multi-band antenna component comprising:
a plurality of slots in a printed circuit board configured to receive the at least one signal, wherein a first portion of individual slots of the plurality of slots extends radially outward from a center of the printed circuit board, wherein the first portion of the individual slots of the plurality of slots are configured radially equidistant from each other relative to the printed circuit board, wherein the plurality of slots comprises a second portion of the individual slots; and
two feeds comprising a first feed and a second feed, the first feed configured to connect the first portion with the first input port of the diplexer, and the second feed configured to connect the second portion with the second input port of the diplexer; and
a reflector configured to reflect signals in-phase with the at least one signal for reception by the multi-band antenna component.
