Abstract: An apparatus includes a plurality of conductive structures having first sides and second sides opposite the first sides, wherein the second sides of the plurality of conductive structures are configured to be physically coupleable with a printed circuit board (PCB) of a receiver or a transmitter. The first sides of the plurality of conductive structures are configured to be spaced from the PCB by a first distance when the plurality of conductive structures is physically coupled with the PCB. The apparatus includes an antenna having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first side of the antenna includes a radiating side of the antenna and the second side of the antenna is disposed closer to the plurality of conductive structures than the first side of the antenna when the plurality of conductive structures is physically coupled with the PCB.

Abstract: A phased array antenna system includes a carrier, a first antenna element and a second antenna element coupled to a first side of the carrier, the second antenna element spaced apart from the first antenna element by a space; and a signal conditioning module including a support structure having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, one or more signal conditioning elements coupled to the first side of the support structure, and a plurality of coupling elements coupled to the second side of the support structure. The signal conditioning module is coupled to the first side of the carrier and disposed in the space on the first side of the carrier between the first antenna element and the second antenna element. At least one coupling element is electrically coupled to the carrier. The signal conditioning module is electrically coupled to the first antenna element.
