Abstract: A transceiver (100) comprises a stacked metal laminate assembly of a plurality of layers (104-112) inside an enclosure (102). A first layer (104) forms an antenna. A second layer (106) forms a ground plane for the antenna. A third layer (108) forms "front-end" filters (duplexer). A fourth layer (110) together with the second layer forms an electromagnetic isolation enclosure for the filters. A fifth layer (112) comprises a PC board with electronic circuits of the transceiver mounted thereon, and is both mounted to and electronically shielded by the fourth layer. Each of the first through fourth layers is preferably made from a single metal layer, such as a sheet of metal, by stamping. Each of the first through fourth layers is either bent along its periphery into a substantially "cake-pan" shape, or is flat and has a separate side wall (130) attached thereto. Flanges (122 and 124) that are unitarily formed with the filters extend through orifices (126 and 128) in the second and fourth layers to connect the filters with the antenna and the electronic circuits. The connections may be conductive or capacitive. The assembly is put together by stacking the first through fourth layers and then epoxying, soldering, or welding them together.

Abstract: A high-frequency, e.g., microwave, antenna (100) is stamped from a single sheet of electromagnetically conductive material, e.g., a metal plate. A manufacture comprising a frame (104), a plurality of radiator antenna elements (108), a plurality of first supports (112) each connecting a radiator antenna element to the frame, a feed network (110) connected to the radiator antenna elements, and a plurality of second supports connecting the radiators and the feed network to each other and to the frame, are stamped out of the single sheet. A combiner (114) may be included in the manufacture as well. The second supports provide alignment and rigidity during manufacture and assembly. Preferably, a plurality of the manufactures are stamped out side-by-side from a single roll for ease of automated manufacture and assembly. The frame is either made in two pieces or is bent relative to the resonator antenna elements along fold lines, to provide an offset of the radiators from a ground plane (102). The frame is mounted on the ground plane, and the second supports are then removed. Preferably, the feed network is positioned (e.g., by being bent) to lie closer to the ground plane than the radiator antenna elements.

Abstract: A new physical design for electronic devices (100) comprises a multi-layer stacked assembly (104-110) of a plurality of pan-shaped conductive units that form the layers of the assembly. Each unit is preferably formed from a single sheet of metal into which electronic components, such as an antenna array or a filter array of a transceiver, have been stamped, cut, or etched, and which is then bent around its periphery to form a pan shape. The pans are oriented to face the same direction, are stacked one on top of another, and are fixedly attached to each other by weld, solder, or adhesive. The electrical components defined by the different units are electrically interconnected in a connectorless manner, preferably by flanges (122, 124) formed in the same sheets of metal as the units themselves and extending between the units. Adjacent units in the stack define electromagnetically isolated chambers, e.g., for the filter array. Some layers perform double duty, e.g., a layer (106) that forms a part of the chamber that houses the filter array also acts as a reflector plane for the antenna array.
