TRIANGULAR PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA SUBARRAY

Antenna subassemblies suitable for use in phased array antennas are disclosed, as are phased array antenna assemblies and aircraft comprising phased array antenna assemblies. In one embodiment, an antenna subarray assembly comprises a thermally conductive foam substrate, a plurality of radiating elements bonded to the foam substrate, and a radome disposed adjacent the radiating elements. The subarray assembly presents a triangular shape when viewed in plan view, and the plurality of radiating elements are arranged in a triangular array on the foam substrate. In some embodiments, a plurality of subarray assemblies may be assembled to form an antenna assembly. In further embodiments an aircraft may be fitted with one or more antenna assemblies. Other embodiments may be described.
