Abstract: A dual band frequency selective radiator array includes a high band radiator array disposed on a dielectric layer for transmitting and receiving high band radar signals; a low band radiator array disposed on a front side of the high band radiator array for transmitting and receiving low band radar signals; a frequency selective surface (FSS) tuned to the high band radar signals forming a surface of the low band radiator array and passes the high band radar signals to the high band radiator array; and a single aperture disposed in front of the low band radiator array, the high band radiator array and the FSS for both the low band radiator array and the high band radiator array for transmitting and receiving the radar signals.

Abstract: An apparatus for automating the fabrication of a copper vertical launch (CVL) within a printed circuit board (RGB) includes a feed mechanism to feed and extrude copper wire from a spool of copper wire and a wire cutting and gripping mechanism to receive copper wire from the feed mechanism, cut and secure a segment of copper wire, insert the segment of copper wire into a hole formed within the RGB, solder an end of the segment of copper wire to a signal trace of the RGB, and flush cut an opposite end of the segment of the copper wire to a surface of the RGB. The wire cutting and gripping mechanism includes a wire cutter to flush cut the segment of copper wire and an integrated heated gripper device to receive the copper wire from the spool of copper wire and cut and grab a segment from copper wire.

Abstract: A stripline radio-frequency (RF) connection interface is provided and includes first and second printed circuit boards (RGBs). The first RGB (110) includes a first trace (111), ground planes (112,113) at opposite sides of the first trace (111), dielectric material (114) interposed between the first trace (111) and the ground planes (112,113) and a first end. The first end is formed as a first rabbet (117) at which the first trace (111) is exposed. The second PCB (120) includes a second trace (121), ground planes (122,123) at opposite sides of the second trace (121), dielectric material (124) interposed between the second trace (121) and the ground planes (122,123) and a second end. The second end is formed as a second rabbet (127), which is substantially identical to the first rabbet (117), at which the second trace (121) is exposed. The first and second ends are mated in a shiplap joint (401) to electrically couple the first (111) and second (121) traces.

Abstract: A process of fabricating an electromagnetic circuit includes providing a first sheet of dielectric material including a top surface having at least one conductive trace and depositing a solder bump on the at least one conductive trace. The process further includes applying a second sheet of dielectric material to the first sheet of dielectric material with bond film sandwiched in between, the second sheet of dielectric material having a through-hole providing access to the solder bump. The process further includes bonding the first and second dielectric materials to one another and removing bond film resin from the solder bump. The process further includes machining the solder bump by the drilling or milling process to achieve a desired amount of solder in the solder bump.
