Abstract: A method includes obtaining an active feature layer having a first surface bearing one or more active feature areas. A first capacitor plate of a first capacitor is formed on an interior surface of a cap. A second capacitor plate of the first capacitor is formed on an exterior surface of the cap. The first capacitor plate of the first capacitor overlays and is spaced apart from the second capacitor plate of the first capacitor along a direction that is orthogonal to the exterior surface of the cap to form the first capacitor. The cap is coupled with the first surface of the active feature layer such that the second capacitor plate of the first capacitor is in electrical communication with at least a first active feature of the active feature layer. The cap is bonded with the passive layer substrate.

Abstract: An antenna system includes a plurality of true time delay (TTD) modules, each having a plurality of switching elements configured to selectively define alternative RF signal transmission paths between a signal input and a signal output of the TTD module. A controller is programmed to control the plurality of TTD modules to steer a beam according to a make-before-break switching technique by closing a first pair of switching elements within at least a subset of the plurality of TTD modules to activate a first RF signal transmission path; closing a second pair of switching elements of the subset of the plurality of TTD modules to activate a second RF signal transmission path in parallel with the first RF transmission path; and opening the first pair of switching elements of the subset of TTD modules after closing the second pair of switching elements.

Abstract: A true time delay (TTD) module includes a substrate and a transmission line formed on the substrate. The transmission line includes time delay lines that define signal paths of varying lengths between a signal input and a signal output of the TTD module. A plurality of switching elements are positioned along the transmission line and are selectively controllable to define a signal transmission path between the signal input and the signal output. The switching elements include an input switching element positioned at a first end of each of the plurality of time delay lines, an output switching element positioned at a second end of each of the plurality of time delay lines, and at least one intermediate switching element positioned between the input switching element and the output switching element of at least one of the plurality of time delay lines.
