A foldable radiator assembly includes a flexible dielectric substrate structure having a radiator conductor pattern formed therein. The flexible substrate structure can be flexible for movement between a folded position and a deployed position, or can be fixed in position by dielectric structures. An excitation circuit excites the radiator conductor pattern with RF energy. Strips of the radiator assemblies can be used to form an array aperture.

Radiator structures

A connector providing an offset interconnect has a dielectric body with first and second longitudinally opposed and laterally offset portions and an internal cavity. An offset electrically conductive path is disposed within the internal cavity. The offset electrically conductive path extends from the first portion of the dielectric body to the second portion of the dielectric body. A compressible conductor is disposed within the internal cavity in the second portion of the dielectric body.
