LOW-COST WIRELESS MILLIMETER WAVE OUTDOOR UNIT(ODU)

摘要

A lightweight millimeter wave outdoor unit includes a lightweight housing with a heat sink and mounting member configured for mounting on the antenna to form a wireless link. A millimeter wave transceiver board is mounted within the housing and includes microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) chips. A frequency synthesizer board has a signal generating circuit for generating local oscillator signals to the transceiver board and MMIC chips. A controller board has surface mounted DC and low frequency discrete devices thereon forming power and control circuits that supply respective power and control signals to other circuits on other boards. A quick connect/disconnect assembly allows the housing to be rapidly connected and disconnected.
