  • IMPEDANCE MATCHING FOR AN APERTURE ANTENNA
    Publication number: 20220328962
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for impedance matching for an antenna aperture are described. In one embodiment, the antenna comprises an antenna aperture having at least one array of antenna elements operable to radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and an integrated composite stack structure coupled to the antenna aperture. The integrated composite stack structure includes a wide angle impedance matching network to provide impedance matching between the antenna aperture and free space and also puts dipole loading on antenna elements.
    Type: Application

  • COMPOSITE STACK-UP FOR FLAT PANEL METAMATERIAL ANTENNA
    Publication number: 20200044326
    Abstract: A composite stack-up for an antenna is described. In one embodiment, the antenna is a flat panel metamaterial antenna. In one embodiment, an antenna assembly comprises an antenna element layer having an upper side and a lower side; a first set of one or more layers forming an upper stack bonded to the upper side of the antenna element layer and being are at least partially transparent to radio frequency (RF) radiation; and a second set of one or more layers forming a lower stack bonded to the lower side of the antenna element layer, where the antenna element layer, upper stack and lower stack are bonded together to form a composite stack.
