Abstract
A phased array antenna system includes a flexible printed circuit board formed of a flexible material. The flexible printed circuit board includes a component layer, an antenna layer, and a phase matching layer between the component layer and the antenna layer. A control unit is coupled to the component layer. A plurality of antenna elements are coupled to the antenna layer. A plurality of signal paths extend through the component layer, the phase matching layer, and the antenna layer. Each of the plurality of signal paths connects the control unit to a respective one of the plurality of antenna elements. The control unit provides an independent phase controllable source, which allows beams emitted from the antenna elements to be steered.
