Abstract: An RF module including transmitting, receiving, and processing elements, capable of operating in a standalone mode or as part of an array of similar or identical modules. The RF module includes a radiator (205), transmit-receive circuitry (165), a digital receiver-exciter (160), a processor (100), and a data interface (150). The processor is configured to exchange in-phase and quadrature data with other processors in an array, so that, when configured as an array, digital transmit beam forming and receive beam forming are possible.

Abstract: A single sheet phased array includes a flexible dielectric substrate having a first surface and an oppositely facing second surface, and a first conductive layer on the first surface and a second conductive layer on the second surface. The flexible dielectric substrate, the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are patterned to form at least one feed network and a plurality of radiators directly coupled to the at least one feed network. Further, the plurality of radiators are pivotable with respect to the flexible dielectric substrate to be positioned in a direction away from the first surface or the second surface of the flexible dielectric substrate when the single sheet phased array is deployed.
