An antenna system includes an antenna waveguide having a waveguide surface. A set of printed electronics includes conductors deposited onto the waveguide surface of the antenna waveguide. The system further includes at least one transceiver integrated circuit (IC), the transceiver integrated circuit having a surface assembly, wherein the surface assembly is adhesively coupled to the antenna waveguide and directly connected to the waveguide surface of the antenna waveguide.

RF systems on antenna and method of fabrication

A vibration transducer for sensing vibrations includes a first flexible triboelectric member, a second flexible triboelectric member, a plurality of attachment points, a first electrode and a second electrode. The first flexible triboelectric member includes a first triboelectric layer and a material being on a first position on a triboelectric series. A conductive layer is deposited on the second side thereof. The second flexible triboelectric member includes a second triboelectric layer and a material being on a second position on the triboelectric series that is different from the first position on the triboelectric series. The second triboelectric member is adjacent to the first flexible triboelectric member. When the first triboelectric member comes into and out of contact with the second triboelectric member as a result of the vibrations, a triboelectric potential difference having a variable intensity corresponding to the vibrations can be sensed between the first and second triboelectric members.
