Abstract: A wave phased array is manufactured using additive manufacturing technology (AMT). The wave phased array includes a radiator, a radiator dilation layer supporting the radiator, a beamformer supporting the radiator dilation layer, a beamformer dilation layer supporting the beamformer, and a substrate support layer supporting the beamformer dilation layer. At least one of the radiator, the radiator dilation layer, the beamformer, the beamformer dilation layer and the substrate support layer is fabricated at least in part by an AMT process.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a printed circuit assembly includes providing a flexible-hybrid circuit having a base and at least one side panel. The at least one side panel is hingedly connected to the base. The method further includes disposing a support structure on the flexible-hybrid circuit. The support structure includes a base, which is disposed on the base of the flexible-hybrid circuit, and at least one side that corresponds to the at least one side panel of the flexible-hybrid circuit. The method further includes folding the at least one side panel of the flexible-hybrid circuit so that the at least one side panel is disposed co-planar with the at least one side of the support structure to create a printed circuit assembly.

Abstract: A dual-polarized PCB array antenna includes one or more PCBs and a radiating antenna array. Each PCB has a PCB mounting surface that extends from a first PCB end to an opposing second PCB end. The radiating antenna array includes one or more radiator substrates. Each radiator substrate has a patch mounting surface that extends from a first substrate end to an opposing second substrate end. The dual-polarized PCB array antenna further includes one or more orthogonal interfaces configured to arrange the patch mounting surface of a given radiator substrates in an orthogonal position with respect to the PCB mounting surface of a given PCB.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a power divider circuit includes milling a conductive material disposed upon a first substrate to form a signal trace. The signal trace includes a division from a single trace to two arm traces, with each of the two arm traces having a proximal end electrically connected to the single trace and a distal end electrically connected to each of two secondary traces. The method further includes depositing a resistive ink between the two distal ends to form a resistive electrical connection between the two arm traces, bonding a second substrate to the first substrate to substantially encapsulate the traces between the first substrate and the second substrate, and milling through at least one of the first substrate or the second substrate to provide access to at least one of the traces. A signal divider is further disclosed.
