    Abstract: A mmWave antenna that has particular application to be used in a 5G radio. The antenna includes a thick copper power layer, a first prepreg layer formed on one side of the thick power layer, a signal layer formed on a side of the first prepreg layer opposite to the thick power layer, a second prepreg layer formed on a side of the signal layer opposite to the first prepreg layer and a thin copper power layer formed on a side of second prepreg layer opposite to the signal layer. Microvias extend through the first prepreg layer that electrically couple the thick copper layer to the signal layer and microvias extend through the second prepreg layer that electrically couple the thin copper layer to the signal layer, where the number of microvias extending through the first prepreg layer is less than the number of microvias extending through the second prepreg layer.

    Abstract: A radome and a method for manufacturing same. A radome apparatus has a radome body having an aperture, a film covering the aperture, and a support installed into the aperture. The film and the support have a low loss at a desired operating frequency. The support provides backing, support, and rigidity for the film so that distortion of the film by weather conditions, such as wind, is reduced. Thus, the integrity of the RF transmission characteristics of the radome are preserved. The aperture, film, and support are in the boresight of an antenna and are large enough to accommodate a desired beam steering range. The radome body may be manufactured with the aperture and the film included therein by using an in-mold labeling process. The support may be installed in the aperture by a subsequent molding process.

    Abstract: A radome and a method for manufacturing same. A radome apparatus (10) has a radome body (12) having an aperture (14), a film (16) covering the aperture, and a support (18) installed into the aperture. The film and the support have a low loss at a desired operating frequency. The support provides backing, support, and rigidity for the film so that distortion of the film by weather conditions, such as wind, is reduced. Thus, the integrity of the RF transmission characteristics of the radome are preserved. The aperture, film, and support are in the boresight of an antenna (20, 28) and are large enough to accommodate a desired beam steering range. The radome body may be manufactured with the aperture and the film included therein by using an in-mold labeling process.

    Abstract: An antenna backplane including a printed circuit board (PCB) having a first differential pair with a first conductor and a second conductor and a second differential pair with a third conductor and a fourth conductor. The first conductor is positioned a first distance from the second differential pair and the second conductor is positioned a second distance from the second differential pair of conductors, where the first distance is greater than the second distance. The third conductor is positioned the second distance from the first differential pair and the fourth conductor is positioned a third distance from the first differential pair, where the third distance is greater than the second distance. A phase-shifting series resonant circuit is coupled between the first conductor and the fourth conductor that provides approximately an odd-integer multiple of a 180 degree phase shift at a predetermined frequency.
