Antenna-Integrated printed wiring board assembly for a phased array antenna system

摘要: A phased array antenna system including a plurality of metal, column-like elements formed adjacent the RF probes for improving electrical performance system. In one embodiment hole is in multi-layer, probe-integrated printed wiring board and metal material plated thereon to fill hole. The are each disposed generally between associated pairs probes. essentially form pins that improve return loss bandwidth, probe-to-probe isolation, insertion higher order mode suppression cross-polarization generation.
