  • Broadband stacked patch radiating elements and related phased array antennas
    Patent number: 11177572
    Abstract: A stacked patch radiating element includes a dielectric substrate, a ground plane on a first surface of the dielectric substrate, a patch radiator on a second surface of the dielectric substrate, a feed that is configured to connect the patch radiator to a transmission line, a solder layer on the patch radiator opposite the dielectric substrate, and a parasitic radiating element on the solder layer opposite the patch radiator. The parasitic radiating element includes a metal layer on the solder, a parasitic radiator dielectric substrate on the first metal layer opposite the solder, and a parasitic radiator on the parasitic radiator dielectric substrate opposite the first metal layer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 9, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 16, 2021
    Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLC
