Stepped notch antenna array used as a low thermal resistance heat sink

A stepped notch antenna at Ku-band is developed to provide a thermal heat sink for active arrays. The antenna with forced air cooling provides up to 0.4 °C/W of thermal resistance. The antenna integration with a printed circuit board allows for high volume surface mount assembly of active devices.
