Abstract
A method of constructing an antenna, filter, or similar structure comprising one or more planar electrically conductive radiating and/or receiving elements having conductive feedlines attached thereto and a planar around reference conductor spaced therefrom by a spacer layer, comprising the steps of: providing a planar dielectric fabric spacer layer; applying conductive material to a first side of said spacer layer, by an embroidery process employing conductive thread or yarn, to define said electrically conductive radiating and/or receiving elements having conductive feedlines attached thereto; providing a planar around reference conductor on the opposite side of said planar spacer layer in a position corresponding to the pattern of said electrically conductive radiating and/or receiving elements having conductive feedlines attached thereto; and providing a connection whereby said conductive feedlines attached to said electrically conductive radiating and/or receiving elements, and said planar around reference conductor, can each be connected to associated signal transmitting and/or receiving equipment.
