Three-dimensional antennas incorporate a stack of planar wiring boards, with conductive metallization on each board and electrical connectivity between conductive regions on adjacent boards. In one example of the disclosed technology, a three-dimensional antenna is formed from a stack of planar wiring boards, where each includes one or more disjoint metallizations in electrical contact with at least one disjoint metallization on an adjacent one of the planar wiring boards. Associated methods and variants are also disclosed.

Stacked printed circuit board implementations of three dimensional antennas

A rotary coupling includes a first waveguide, a second waveguide that is coaxial with the first waveguide and supported for rotation relative to the first waveguide, and a collar. The collar is connected to one of the first and second waveguides and extends circumferentially about an end of the other of the first and second waveguides to reduce attenuation of electromagnetic radiation conveyed between the first waveguide and the second waveguide.
