    Abstract: A cooling film for use in passively cooling an antenna includes an antisoiling layer secured to a first major surface of a reflective microporous layer. The reflective microporous layer comprises a first fluoropolymer and is diffusely reflective of electromagnetic radiation over a majority of wavelengths in the range of 400 to 2500 nanometers. The film can also include an infrared-absorptive layer secured to a second major surface of the film opposite the first major surface, and the infrared-absorptive layer is optionally metallized. The film is shaped into a self-supporting three-dimensional structure, such as fins, and a thermally conductive material is inside the structure and secured to a portion of the antenna, either the front side of the antenna for the non-metallized film or the back side of the antenna for the metallized film.
