Abstract:
An antenna array including a printed circuit board having a plurality of printed circuit board launchers, and an array of antenna horns configured to couple with the printed circuit board, one or more antenna horns of the array of antenna horns includes a frame having at least one aperture forming a cup structure that circumscribes a respective printed circuit board launcher, the frame having a first end coupled to the printed circuit board and a second end longitudinally spaced from the first end and extending from the printed circuit board, and a plurality of compliant coupling members extending longitudinally from the first end, the plurality of compliant coupling members being coupled with respective receiving apertures of the printed circuit board such that coupling of plurality of compliant coupling members and the respective receiving apertures solely couples the one or more antenna horns to the printed circuit board.
