CONFORMAL ANTENNA DEVICE

A conformal antenna device is provided that includes a conformance panel, an antenna array, a combiner board, and a plurality of slats. The conformance panel has an inner radial surface, an outer radial surface, a width extending between first and second axial ends, and a length extending between first and second lateral ends. The conformance panel extends linearly in a widthwise direction and extends arcuately in a lengthwise direction. The conformance panel includes a plurality of apertures extending between the inner and outer radial surfaces. The antenna array is attached to the outer radial surface. The slats extend between the combiner board and the conformance panel in a spoke arrangement. Each slat includes a first plate and a second plate, and each second plate includes electrical circuitry and one or more components and is in signal communication with the antenna array.
