1. An antenna system comprising:
a first sub-system comprising at least one first antenna element shaped and disposed to have a first electrical polarization, in a first direction, in response to excitation of the first sub-system, the first antenna element comprises at least one slot defined by an electrically-conductive plane; and
a second sub-system comprising at least one second antenna element shaped and disposed to have a second electrical polarization, in a second direction, in response to excitation of the second sub-system, the second antenna element comprises at least one electric dipole;
wherein the at least one first antenna element and the at least one second antenna element are complementary antenna elements; and
wherein the first sub-system and the second sub-system are co-located such that the first sub-system and the second sub-system in combination provide a slant-polarization for the antenna system.
