An over-molded thin film antenna device is provided that can include a core mandrel having a body and a lip, a thin film radio frequency (RF) element wrapped around and supported by the body, an RF connector electrically coupled to the thin film RF element, and an outer layer molded between shutoff surfaces of the core mandrel and over the thin film RF element. The lip can extend over a top of a portion of the thin film RF element to secure the portion of the thin film radio frequency element between the body and the lip.

Over-molded thin film antenna device

A dual polarized antenna assembly that can be used in connection with rail-based high speed data transmission is provided. One or more high gain directional antennas can be included within a single package such that each package can include a waveguide feed, first and second probe feed assemblies terminating at the waveguide feed, and a horn flair coupled to a first end of the waveguide feed. The first probe feed assembly can be terminated orthogonally with respect to the second probe feed assembly, each probe feed assembly can be fed separately and radiate a linearly polarized signal into the waveguide such that each linearly polarized signal is parallel to the respective probe feed assembly, and each linearly polarized signal can propagate independently through the waveguide to the horn flair, which can couple each linearly polarized signal to free space.
