Abstract: An apparatus includes multiple patch antenna elements configured to transmit multiple electromagnetic beams in multiple beam directions. The apparatus also includes multiple inputs each configured to receive one of multiple input signals, where each input signal is associated with one of the electromagnetic beams. The apparatus further includes multiple phase-tapered splitters each configured to receive one of the input signals, divide the received input signal into a set of sub-signals, and provide a phase taper that adjusts phases of at least some of the sub-signals in the set of sub-signals. Different phase tapers are associated with different ones of the beam directions. In addition, the apparatus includes multiple 90° hybrid transformers each configured to receive sub-signals associated with different ones of the input signals, isolate the received sub-signals from each other, and provide the isolated sub-signals to one of the patch antenna elements.

Abstract: A method of forming a heat spreader on a printed circuit board (PCB), having a power dissipating component operably coupled thereto, includes attaching a thermally and electrically conductive structure, to a first side of the PCB to define a first PCB region that includes the component and a second PCB region without. The underside of the component is underfilled to electrically insulate its solder contacts. A first protective layer is applied to the second region of the PCB. A conductive plating membrane is deposited to the first region, the second region, and to the structure. A second protective layer is applied over a portion of the conductive plating membrane that overlays the second region, leaving exposed the rest of the conductive plating membrane. An electrically and thermally conductive layer is electroplated over the exposed areas of the conductive plating membrane, to form a heat exchanger within the first region.

Abstract: A power amplifier uses a modular architecture in which each of the one or more modules spatially combines the power from multiple amplified channels. The individual modules are configured to operate in the EHF band and above at low loss. This entails reconfiguring the input and output splitters, the end-launched transitions between the amplifier chips and the input and output splitters and the packaging of the DC power and control board. The input splitter uses a split-block technology. The output splitter maps each amplified channel into a two-dimensional aperture.
