Abstract
Radiator structures and methods are provided. The radiator includes conductor bar and radiating surface portions that are integral to one another. An interior surface of the conductor bar and an interior surface of the radiating surface form a continuous internal surface, and an exterior surface of the conductor bar and an exterior surface of the radiating surface form a continuous external surface. The overall form of the radiating surface can be similar to that of a flared bell, such that an interior surface of the conductor bar is exposed at a base of the flared radiating surface. Surface features can be formed on one for both of the exterior and interior surfaces of the radiator. The radiating surface can also include voids. Aspects of surface features and voids can vary with distance from a thermal interface with a heat source. The radiator structures can be formed using additive manufacturing processes.
