Abstract
An antenna array and a method of making can use solder connections. The antenna system includes a back plane circuit board having a top surface, first radio frequency circuit boards arranged in rows on the back plane circuit board and perpendicular to the top surface, and second radio frequency circuit boards arranged in columns on the back plane circuit board and perpendicular to the top surface. Each of the first radio frequency circuit boards include at least one first antenna element, and each of the second radio frequency circuit boards include at least one second antenna. The first radio frequency circuit boards and second radio frequency circuit boards are connected to the back plane circuit board by solder connections.
