1. An antenna module comprising:
a dielectric on which is disposed one or more antenna elements configured to transmit and/or receive a radiofrequency signal;
a communication circuit for processing the radiofrequency signal;
an interconnect member that is electrically connected with the communication circuit and the antenna elements, wherein the interconnect member optionally contains a substrate on which a metal coating is disposed;
optionally, a shield member covering the communication circuit that contains is a substrate on which a metal coating is disposed; and
wherein the dielectric, and/or the substrate of the interconnect member is formed from a polymer composition comprising silicate fibers distributed within a polymer matrix containing a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer, and/or
wherein the dielectric, the substrate of the interconnect member, and/or the substrate of the shield member is formed from a polymer composition comprising silicate fibers distributed within a polymer matrix containing a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer.
