Abstract
A method of constructing fabric microwave antennas with a calendering apparatus which comprises: providing a calendaring apparatus having a plurality of roller two of said rollers are arranged as a nip or meeting point; heating said rollers located at said nip; setting the pressure at said nip or meeting point of said rollers; shaping antenna patches from conductive fabric; feeding at least one roll of carrier fabric into said heated and pressurized nip; placing said preformed conductive patches on to the carrier fabric before said carrier fabric enters said heated and pressurized nip of the calendering apparatus so that said preformed conductive patches and said carrier fabric are bonded or calendered by the heat and pressure effects of said nip; and cutting said calendered or bonded layers of conductive and non-conductive fabric into desired shapes for incorporation into flexible structures.
