    摘要: A coaxial-to-microstrip vertical transition includes a dielectric substrate having formed on a first surface thereof a primary microstrip conductor trace, and on a second surface a secondary microstrip conductor trace. A first conductive via extends through the dielectric substrate and electrically connects the primary conductor trace to the secondary conductor trace. A second conductive via is spaced from the first conductive via and extends through the dielectric substrate to electrically connect the secondary conductor trace to the coaxial center conductor. A bottom microstrip ground plane layer is defined on the second substrate surface. A conductive base plate structure has a cavity formed therein, the substrate positioned such that the base plate structure is in contact with the bottom ground plane layer, and the secondary conductor trace is positioned over the cavity. The substrate is positioned between a cover structure and the base plate structure, the cover structure disposed in spaced relation with respect to the first surface of the substrate. A coaxial transmission line structure includes an outer shield and a coaxial center conductor structure disposed within the outer conductor and transverse to the substrate, the center conductor passed through an opening in the cover structure to contact the second via. A conductive plate structure is positioned between the plane of the cover structure and the substrate, providing shielding surrounding the center conductor between the cover and the substrate.

    摘要: Coax to microstrip orthogonal launchers that use a compressible fuzz button center conductor as a solderless interconnect. The launcher comprises a coaxial connector having a center conductor that contacts a compressible fuzz button interconnect. In certain embodiments, the fuzz button interconnect directly contacts one end of a microstrip line. In another embodiment, the microstrip line is formed on a curved microstrip circuit board, and the fuzz button interconnect contacts a pin that has a thin metal tab that is adhesively secured to the one end of the microstrip line. In all embodiments, a second coaxial connector has a center conductor that contacts the opposite end of the microstrip conductor line. The present invention eliminates need for precise soldering by using the fuzz button interconnect to create a solderless compression contact between the coaxial connector and the microstrip line. The present invention provides a simple way to vertically launch an RF signal onto microstrip transmission line from a coaxial cable and operates at frequencies up to 18 GHz.

    摘要: A coaxial IF interconnect structure that is compressible in the z-axis and provides its own environmental seal against moisture and coolant. The structure (50) includes three components, a center conductor (60), dielectric spacer structure (70), and outer conductor shield (80), all fabricated of compressible materials. The center conductor is a compressible metal interconnection element formed by die compressing 1 mil diameter fine wire to a desired shape and density. The coaxial dielectric structure supports the compressible center conductor, and is fabricated from a fluorinated elastomer (FM) known as fluorosilicone. The compressible coaxial outer conductor shield functions as an IF gasket in the form of an round flat washer surrounding the dielectric structure and center conductor.

    摘要: An array system with radiating elements and a wideband monopulse power divider network with dual channel input ports and multiple output ports. Each input channel of the network excites a uniquely different RF amplitude and phase distribution out of each of the corresponding "n" output ports. All ports are matched and isolated from each other across a wide instantaneous frequency. Also the RF power distribution will track in amplitude and phase across a wide frequency band. This is achieved through a special arrangement of air-stripline matched power dividers, attenuator, phase shifters, and Magic-Tee couplers. The output ports of the network can be connected directly to the radiating elements or to partitioned feed circuits which are in turn connected to sub-sets of the radiating elements.

    摘要: An RF connector includes male and female connector components. The male component has a multi-diameter dielectric housing cylinder with a metal center conductor extending through an opening in the housing. The center pin extends from each end of the dielectric housing. The center pin and the dielectric housing are sized appropriately to provide a matched impedance at microwave frequencies for the use environment to which the male component is connected. The female connector component includes a dielectric body having a center cavity formed therein. A compressible wire bundle forming a compressible conductor member is recessed into the cavity. The compressible conductor protrudes from the far end of the female cavity allowing contact to a mating circuitry. The male connector component is assembled with the female component, the male center pin being brought into electrical contact with the compressible conductor member. The female connector component is not mechanically mounted to the next level of interconnect, but instead the protruding compressible conductor is brought into compressive electrical contact with a mating circuitry on the next interconnect level.

    摘要: The present invention relates to panel array antennas, and more particularly to a cooling system for an antenna such as a jet stream conformal panel array antenna. In one embodiment, a panel array antenna for an aircraft includes a closed-loop fluid flow path that passes through the panel array assembly and dissipates heat to the jet stream outside the aircraft. A fluid such as pressurized air passes through this closed-loop path, flowing through strategically-placed openings in the layers of the panel array assembly and flowing over and around the hot electrical components in the panel assembly. The air is heated by these electrical components, and the heated air then flows through the flow path under the top sheet, dissipating the heat to the jet stream outside. In one embodiment, a panel array antenna includes a panel assembly having a top layer through which the antenna radiates or receives a signal, and a fluid flow path through the panel assembly. A first portion of the fluid flow path is disposed below the top layer such that a fluid passing through the first portion of the fluid flow path is in heat transfer proximity to the top layer.
