Abstract:
A low-profile conformal antenna (“LPCA”) is disclosed. The LPCA includes a plurality of dielectric layers forming a dielectric structure. The plurality of dielectric layers includes a top dielectric layer that includes a top surface. The LPCA further includes an inner conductor, a patch antenna element (“PAE”), and an antenna slot. The inner conductor is formed within the dielectric structure, the PAE is formed on the top surface of the top dielectric layer, and the antenna slot is within the PAE. The LPCA is configured to support a transverse electromagnetic (“TEM”) signal within the dielectric structure.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for fabricating a low-profile conformal antenna (\u201cLPCA\u201d) utilizing a lamination process, the method comprising:\n patterning a first conductive layer on a bottom surface of a first dielectric layer having a top surface and the bottom surface to produce a ground plane; patterning a second conductive layer on a top surface of a second dielectric layer having the top surface and a bottom surface to produce an inner conductor; laminating the bottom surface of the second dielectric layer to the top surface of the first dielectric layer; patterning a third conductive layer on a top surface of a third dielectric layer having the top surface and a bottom surface to produce a patch antenna element (\u201cPAE\u201d) with an antenna slot, laminating a bottom surface of a third dielectric layer to a top surface of a fourth dielectric layer, wherein the fourth dielectric layer has a bottom surface; and laminating the bottom surface of the fourth dielectric layer to the top surface of the second dielectric layer to produce a composite laminated structure.
