Patent attributes
Flat-plate antennas, antenna systems, and associated methods of manufacturing are provided. An example flat-plate antenna includes an integral body defining a top portion, a bottom portion opposite the top portion, and one or more side portions extending therebetween. The body further defines a channel at least partially enclosed by the body. The flat-plate antenna further includes a plurality of top openings formed in the top portion and one or more bottom openings formed in the bottom portion. The body is configured such that the plurality of top openings are in communication with the one or more bottom openings via the channel such that, in operation, electromagnetic radiation may pass therebetween, such as generated by or received by a radio transceiver communicably coupled with the flat-plate antenna via the bottom portion of the body.
