Actually I figure the antennae in the communications module are all concealed by this sort of thing even when they are in the raised and active position, as much as they can be depending upon wave length
You can always try and conceal an antenna, but you can't permanently conceal one in a convincing way - the materials you can easily transmit through are not generally the kind you can do convincing foliage out of. There are some recent developments that can last a few months at a time, but that is about it, and that isn't really any better than the sensors you want to install.

And radiating sources are still relatively easy to spot, with relatively simple instrumentation, but more on that later.
