  • Dimensionally tolerant multiband conformal antenna arrays
    Patent number: 9673514
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a multiband antenna array formed on a flexible substrate. Low frequency antenna elements may be formed using nanoink. High frequency elements may be provided on a prefabricated antenna chip. The antenna array may be heated in a low temperature oven to sinter the nanoink into a solid antenna element. In some embodiments, an adhesive insulation layer may be provided which allows the antenna array to be attached to any surface. In other embodiments, the antenna array may be embedded in a composite material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 25, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 6, 2017
    Assignee: Lockheed Martin Corporation
    Inventors: David L. Vos, Carl Baldwin, David R. Darling, Brian W. Kaplun, David R. Dorough
