The invention relates to the technical field of phased-array antennas, and particularly discloses an open and extensible phased-array antenna sub-array architecture, an installation method and an array plane. Comprising a main frame internally provided with a cavity, a wave control mother board which is installed in the cavity and divides the cavity into a front cavity and a rear cavity, a front end tight
coupling unit which is used for transmitting and receiving signals and is connected with the main frame, and a rear end open unit which is installed in the rear cavity and is provided with a standard module. The wave control mother board is connected with the front-end tight
coupling unit and the rear-end open unit respectively; the end, close to the wave control mother board, of the front-end tight
coupling unit is located in the front cavity. Reliability of
radio frequency connection of the front-end tight coupling unit and stability of performance are guaranteed, openness of a
processing part is achieved through the rear-end variable region formed by the rear-end open unit, phased-array
antenna array planes of different scales and different capacities can be reconstructed, requirements of different application scenes are met, and the antenna has a wide application prospect. And the expandability of the
system is better realized.
