  • Patent number: 5426442
    Abstract: A unitary array of efficient directional corrugated feed horns, each having a desired corrugated horn cross-section within close tolerances, as well as accurate positioning and orientation relative to each other. The unitary array structure is comprised of a plurality of thin platelets which are laminated together in a selected sequence. The unitary array design provides a mechanical structure to support millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelength electronic devices for reception or transmission of electromagnetic energy and cooling fluid circulation channels within the array to remove unwanted heat generated by the attached electronic devices. The design of the present invention affords a relatively lightweight structure through removal of unneeded materials by forming cavities within the structure while leaving sufficient material for the bonding of the platelet assembly.
