Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an integrated radio frequency (RF) module, comprising structurally forming at least one RF waveguide and at least one RF radiator of a metalized ceramic material. The RF waveguide(s) and the RF radiator(s) are connected and operatively coupled with each other. Each of the RF radiator(s) comprises a metalized outer wall and at least one metalized axial ridge extending along an inner surface of the outer wall. The method further comprises sintering the metalized ceramic material to create a monolithic structure comprising the RF waveguide and RF radiator, and operatively coupling RF circuitry to the RF waveguide(s).
