Conformal cavity-less interferometer array

摘要

An interferometer spiral antennae array having a deformable cavity-less spacer which can be shaped to a nonplanar surface without distorting the alignment of the spiral antennae or increasing the difficulty of aligning Alignment is increased by mounting the spiral antennae the antennae. The accuracy of antennae on a stratum, separate from a ground plane by the deformable spacer. The spiral antennae are electrically connected to RF components on a stripline or microstrip feed/balun circuit board by integral finger-like extensions of the circuit, extending through the ground plane and the deformable spacer, thereby eliminating the need for connectors or cables.
