Abstract
A notch radiator apparatus includes: a planar circuit board having a plurality of different planar layers; a balun cavity formed between two ground layers of the planar circuit board that are separated by a laminated layer; a conductive notch formed horizontally in a plane parallel to the planar circuit board by two three dimensional (3D) structures formed on a top surface of the circuit board; a stripline signal feed folded within planar circuit board layers; and a plated hole formed vertically in a plane perpendicular to the planar circuit board and extending from the stripline signal feed. The stripline signal feed electromagnetically transfer radio frequency (RF) energy into or out of the antenna notch radiator apparatus.
