  • Patent number: 11482795
    Abstract: An antenna and method of manufacturing an antenna. The antenna includes a radiator feed layer, a first radiator patch assembly attached to the radiator feed layer, and a second radiator patch assembly attached to the radiator feed layer. The first radiator patch assembly is separated from the second radiator patch assembly by an air gap. The first radiator patch assembly is attached to the radiator feed layer and the second radiator patch assembly is attached to the radiator feed layer separated from the first radiator patch assembly by the air gap.

  • Publication number: 20210066830
    Abstract: A stripline radio-frequency (RF) connection interface is provided and includes first and second printed circuit boards (PCBs). The first PCB includes a first trace, ground planes at opposite sides of the first trace, dielectric material interposed between the first trace and the ground planes and a first end. The first end is formed as a first rabbet at which the first trace is exposed. The second PCB includes a second trace, ground planes at opposite sides of the second trace, dielectric material interposed between the second trace and the ground planes and a second end. The second end is formed as a second rabbet, which is substantially identical to the first rabbet, at which the second trace is exposed. The first and second ends are mated in a shiplap joint to electrically couple the first and second traces.
