<p>A microwave transmit/receive assembly comprising a microwave integrated circuit (MIC) module mounted to an E-plane filter block (E). The MIC module comprises a metal baseplate (B) having a dielectric layer (D) carrying conductive microstrip tracks (T) forming microwave integrated circuitry for processing transmitted and received signals. The printed circuit board carries additional circuitry and the MIC module and the PCB are connected by means of transistor headers (TH). Thus the construction of the microwave transmit/receive assembly is relatively straightforward and inexpensive because it eliminates the need for several complex assemblies which must be connected together by, for example, coaxial cable.</p> |
