Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a phased array antenna radiator assembly having improved thermal conductivity and electrostatic discharge protection. SOLUTION: In one embodiment, a phased array antenna radiator assembly has a thermally conductive foam substrate, a plurality of metal radiating elements bonded to the foam substrate, and a radome supported adjacently to the metal radiating elements. In another embodiment, a phased array antenna radiator assembly is disclosed that has: a thermally conductive substrate, a plurality of metal radiating elements bonded to the thermally conductive substrate; a radome supported adjacently to the metal radiating elements; and an electrostatically dissipative adhesive in contact with the radiating elements for bonding the radome to the thermally conductive substrate.
