CA 2584313

A phased array antenna aperture able to form a structural, load bearing portion of another structure, for example, a portion of a mobile platform. The antenna aperture is formed with a plurality of radiating elements sandwiched between prepreg fabric plies to form independent wall sections having a plurality of electromagnetic radiating elements embedded therein. The wall sections are secured in a honeycomb arrangement to form an array of cells of radiating elements. The manufacturing methods described herein enable arrays of widely varying sizes and shapes to be created and used as structural, load bearing portions of a wing, fuselage, door panel or other area of a mobile platform. The antenna aperture is lightweight because it does not include the weight of parasitic support components typically required in the construction of phased array antenna apertures.

L'invention concerne une ouverture d'antenne réseau à commande de phase apte à former une partie portante structurelle d'une autre structure, par exemple une partie d'une plate-forme mobile. Cette ouverture d'antenne est constituée d'une pluralité d'éléments rayonnants pris en sandwich entre des plis de tissu préimprégnés pour former des parties parois indépendantes comprenant une pluralité d'éléments rayonnants électromagnétiques intégrés. Les parties parois sont fixées dans un agencement alvéolaire afin de former un réseau de cellules d'éléments rayonnants. Les procédés de fabrication selon l'invention permettent de créer des réseaux de tailles et de formes très diverses, et de les utiliser comme parties portantes structurelles d'une aile, d'un fuselage, d'un panneau de porte ou d'une autre zone d'une plate-forme mobile. L'ouverture d'antenne selon l'invention est légère car elle ne comprend pas le poids de composants de support parasites généralement nécessaires dans la construction d'ouvertures d'antennes réseau à commande de phase.
