Abstract: Patch arrays, including metal-only, dielectric-free, broadband aperture-coupled patch arrays.

Abstract: An apparatus may include one or more conductive surfaces, waveguide structures and/or ports. One or more waveguide structures may include a portion disposed above a conductive surface, an outer conductor, and/or an inner conductor. A first portion of an outer conductor may be connected to a conductive surface. A port end of an outer conductor may be connected to an outer conductor port. An inner conductor may be disposed inside and spaced apart from an outer conductor. An inner conductor port may be connected to an inner conductor. An inner conductor of two or more waveguide structures may be connected to each other. A conductive surface may include at least one aperture portion, which may have a width substantially similar to the width of a waveguide structure. A substrate may be disposed between one or more waveguide structures and a conductive surface for a substantial portion of a waveguide structure.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a first power combiner/divider network and a second power combiner/divider network. The first power combiner/divider network splits a first electromagnetic signal into split signals that are connectable to signal processor(s). The second power combiner/divider network combines processed signals into a second electromagnetic signal. The apparatus includes a three-dimensional coaxial microstructure.

Abstract: A transmission line structure, a transmission line thermal manager and/or process thereof. A transmission line thermal manager may include a thermal member. A thermal member may be configured to form a thermal path, for example away from one or more inner conductors of a transmission line. A part of a thermal member may be formed of an electrically insulative and thermally conductive material. One or more inner conductors may be spaced apart from one or more outer conductors in a transmission line. A transmission line and/or a transmission line thermal manager may be configured to maximize a signal through a system, for example by modifying the geometry of one or more transmission line conductors and/or of a thermal manager.
