An antenna device is disclosed, including an additively manufactured tubular body portion having a wall portion with a plurality of holes. The tubular body portion is configured to transmit electromagnetic radiation in a selected operating frequency range, and to have a mass below a maximum mass threshold. The plurality of holes reduce the mass of the tubular body below the maximum mass threshold without significantly adversely affecting electromagnetic radiation transmission capability of the tubular body in the selected operating frequency range.

An additively manufactured antenna device is disclosed, including a base portion and a body portion. The body portion is attached to the base portion and includes a lattice stiffening structure configured to eliminate secondary printing support.

An apparatus includes an aperture layer coupled to a polarizer layer. The aperture layer includes an antenna and a filter. A circuit layer is mechanically and thermally coupled to the aperture layer. The antenna includes a square horn antenna made of a polymer material. The filter includes a waveguide filter having a first and a second piece separately molded. The waveguide filter includes a folded-back waveguide coupled to the horn antenna at one end and to the circuit layer at another end.

A three-dimensional (3D) horn air waveguide antenna assembly and its method of manufacture include a bottom stamped metal layer defining a set of electrical connection ports and a plurality of top stamped metal layers arranged atop the bottom stamped metal layer with a brazing material deposited between each stamped metal layer, the plurality of top stamped metal layers defining a channel area proximate to the bottom stamped metal layer, a horn air waveguide antenna area that widens from a bottom portion to a top portion, and a slot area fluidly connecting the channel and horn air waveguide antenna areas.
