Zusammenfassung:A phased array antenna radiator assembly (10) that in one embodiment has a thermally conductive foam substrate, a plurality of metal radiating elements (14a,16a) bonded to the foam substrate (30,38), and a radome (12) supported adjacent the metal radiating elements (14a,16a). In another embodiment a phased array antenna radiator assembly (10) is disclosed that has a thermally conductive substrate (90,98), a plurality of metal radiating elements (14a,16a) bonded to the thermally conductive substrate, a radome (12) supported adjacent the metal radiating elements (14a,16a), and an electrostatically dissipative adhesive (26,34) in contact with the radiating elements (14a,16a) for bonding the radome (12) to the thermally conductive substrate (30,38).
