According to an embodiment of the present invention, a multi-function carrier structure for a phased array radar includes a substrate that includes a mounting surface for a plurality of transmit/receive modules, a plurality of radiating elements integrally formed in the substrate adjacent the mounting surface, and a plurality of cooling channels integrally formed within a thickness of the substrate. The substrate is formed from a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to respective substrates of the transmit/receive modules.
