    Abstract: A compact antenna module with integrated thermal management. The module includes at least one antenna and amplifier such as power amplifiers or low-noise amplifiers. An anisotropic thermal interface material is positioned such that it is in thermal communication with these components. The anisotropic thermal interface material includes plural aligned thermally anisotropic composite layers having a first thermal conductivity in a first direction and a second, larger thermal conductivity in a second direction and extend substantially parallel to each other in the first direction. The layers include hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) in a binder aligned in the second direction approximately perpendicular to the first direction such that x-y planes of the hBNalign in the second direction. In this manner, the thermal conductivity in the second direction is at least 13.5 W/mK, with a dielectric constant of less than 4, and a loss tangent of less than 0.007.
