Mounting system for transmitter receiver modules of an active electronically scanned array

摘要

A mounting system adapted to receive a plurality of transmitter receiver modules and each including an upper antenna part and a lower electronic components part. The lower part includes transmitter receiver module contacts on the end opposite the upper part. The mounting system includes a substrate rear panel including transmitter receiver module contact receivers on a first side and active support units on a second side. Each contact receiver is adapted to receive transmitter receiver module contacts of one receiver module. The supports are adapted to support a plurality of receiver modules. One single substrate rear panel is adapted to receive the receiver modules in a matrix. The mounting system includes a ground plane and an electric conductive sheet, and is arranged such that when the receiver modules are mounted in the mounting system, the ground plane levels with the receiver modules transition from the upper to the lower part.

1. A mounting system for transmitter receiver modules, adapted to receive a plurality of transmitter receiver modules, wherein the transmitter receiver modules together form a part of an active electronically scanned array, and each transmitter receiver module is provided with an upper antenna part and a lower electronic components part, where the lower electronic components part is provided with a transmitter receiver contact on an end opposite the upper antenna part, and wherein the mounting system comprises a substrate rear panel provided with a transmitter receiver contact receiver on a first side, and active support units are arranged on a second side, wherein each of said transmitter receiver contact receivers are adapted to receive a transmitter receiver contact of one of the transmitter receiver modules, and wherein said support units are adapted to support a plurality of transmitter receiver modules,
wherein said substrate rear panel is constructed such that one single substrate rear panel is adapted to receive said transmitter receiver modules in a matrix structure having a plurality of rows and columns and said mounting system is provided with an earth plane, said earth plane is parallel to the substrate rear panel and comprises an electric conductive sheet, and is arranged such that, when the transmitter receiver modules are mounted in the mounting system, the earth plane levels with the transmitter receiver modules transition from upper antenna part to lower electronic components part, and the lower electronic components parts thereby is enclosed by the substrate rear panel and the earth plane.
