Sometime you have to ask just what someone considers the antenna system. Some people believe that the only thing in an antenna system is the antenna itself while others consider everything after the radio/amp part of the antenna system including any switches, transmission lines, baluns etc. as well as the actual antenna. Some even refer to an antenna system as a bunch of different antennas together for the same or different bands.The generally accepted definition in professional circles (design engineers, RF workers etc.) is that the antenna system includes the antenna as well as the transmission lines and anything else in the RF path.
