[0024] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or a central element may also exist. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or an intermediate element may be present at the same time. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there are no intervening elements. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not meant to be the only embodiments.
[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field of the present invention.

The general flat satellite antenna 100 and the BUC 200 are connected through a waveguide with joints at both ends to realize signal transmission. Compared with the general flat satellite antenna 100 and the BUC connection structure, the waveguide and the joints provided at both ends of the still tube are omitted in this application, and the signal transmission path between the flat satellite antenna 100 and the BUC 200 is shortened. The signal transmission path between the two reduces the standing wave ratio of the transmission signal, thereby reducing the energy consumption requirements of the BUC200. At the same time, the structure in which the flat satellite antenna 100 and the BUC 200 are directly connected to the feed input terminal through the transmitting waveguide end 211 simplifies the connection structure of the BUC 200 and the flat satellite antenna 100 and saves costs.

When the BUC200 and the flat satellite antenna 100 are installed in the moving satellite system, since the BUC transmitting module 210 and the BUC function module 220 can be separated, the BUC transmitting module 210 and the BUC function module can be combined according to the spatial structure of the moving satellite system 220 is arranged separately, so that the structure of the satellite system in motion can be compact, and the overall structure size of the satellite system in motion can be reduced.
[0029] In an embodiment, the BUC connection structure further includes a signal transmission line 230. The two ends of the signal transmission line 230 are respectively connected to the BUC transmission module 210 and the BUC function module 220 to transmit between the BUC transmission module 210 and the BUC function module 220. signal of. The signal transmission line 230 has a simple structure for transmitting signals between the BUC transmitting module 210 and the BUC function module 220, and the signal transmission is stable and reliable.

The BUC200 is arranged on the mounting board 120, so that the BUC200 can move with the flat satellite antenna 100, which avoids the problem of loose connection between the BUC200 and the flat satellite antenna 100 due to relative movement, and thereby connects the transmitting waveguide end 211 to the feed input end Stable and reliable.
[0033] In an embodiment, the mounting plate 120 is a metal mounting plate 121, and the BUC 200 and the metal mounting plate 121 can be thermally conductively fitted. When the mounting board 120 is a metal mounting board 121, the metal mounting board 121 can increase the heat dissipation area, thereby reducing the operating temperature of the BUC200.
[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting board 120 is located on the back of the flat satellite antenna 100. It should be explained that the flat satellite antenna 100 is provided with a transmitting surface 130 for transmitting and receiving signals, and the back refers to the side of the flat satellite antenna 100 facing away from the transmitting surface 130. This can prevent the BUC200 from affecting the signal transmission of the flat satellite antenna 100. In addition, in other embodiments, the aforementioned mounting plate 120 may also be located at other parts of the flat satellite antenna 100. For example, the mounting plate 120 is located between the back of the flat satellite antenna 100 and the transmitting surface 130.

When the BUC connection structure is used in the mobile satellite system, the base 410 can carry and install the BUC connection structure; at the same time, by rotating the BUC connection structure, the alignment angle between the flat satellite antenna 100 and the satellite can be changed to achieve the tracking of the flat satellite antenna 100 The purpose of the satellite.
[0040] It should be noted that a rotating bracket 420 is provided between the base 410 and the BUC connecting structure, and the rotating bracket 420 can drive the BUC connecting structure to rotate so that the flat satellite antenna 100 can track the satellite. The rotating bracket 420 is generally a two-axis rotating bracket, and the two-axis rotating bracket can move the BUC connection structure in an arc-shaped surface.
