Abstract: In some embodiments, an antenna module includes an antenna element having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; a spacer structure disposed at the second side of the antenna element and configured to define a cavity, the spacer structure configured to be physically and electrically couplable with a printed circuit board (PCB) of a receiver or a transmitter; and an amplifier located within the cavity. The first side comprises a radiating side of the antenna element.

Abstract: A perforated metal honeycomb structure is described. The perforated metal honeycomb structure may include a metal honeycomb structure having a plurality of laser-drilled holes wherein at least some of the plurality of holes are non-uniform in second, shape, and/or spacing between holes. In another embodiment, the perforated metal honeycomb structure may include an array of intercellular holes between hexagonal cells in the honeycomb structure. The array of intercellular holes may include at least a first hole and a second wherein the first and second holes are different from each other.
