Abstract:
A high-gain conformal antenna (“HGCA”) is disclosed. The HGCA 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 HGCA further includes an inner conductor, a cavity, a patch antenna element (“PAE”), and an antenna slot. The inner conductor and cavity are formed within the dielectric structure, the PAE is formed on the top surface of the top dielectric layer above the cavity, and the antenna slot is formed within the PAE. The HGCA is configured to support a transverse electromagnetic (“TEM”) signal within the dielectric structure.

Claim (Index 19):
A method for fabricating a high-gain conformal antenna (\u201cHGCA\u201d) utilizing a three-dimensional (\u201c3-D\u201d) additive printing process, the method comprising:\n printing a first conductive layer having a top surface and a first width, wherein the first width has a first center; printing a first dielectric layer on the top surface of the first conductive layer, wherein the first dielectric layer has a top surface; printing a second dielectric layer on the top surface of the first dielectric layer, wherein the second dielectric layer has a top surface; printing a second conductive layer on the top surface of the second dielectric layer, wherein the second conductive layer has a top surface and a second width, and wherein the second width is less than the first width; printing a third dielectric layer on the top surface of the second conductive layer and on the top surface on the second dielectric layer, wherein the third dielectric layer has a top surface and wherein the third dielectric layer includes at least one cavity within the third dielectric layer; printing a fourth dielectric layer on the top surface of the third dielectric layer, wherein the fourth dielectric layer has a top surface; and printing a third conductive layer on the top surface of the fourth dielectric layer to produce a patch antenna element (\u201cPAE\u201d), wherein the third conductive layer has a top surface and a third width, wherein the third width is less than the first width, and wherein the third conductive layer includes an antenna slot within the third conductive layer that exposes the top surface of the fourth dielectric layer through the third conductive layer.
