Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of microwave technology. Background Art

[0002] In the microwave field, shielding boxes are generally used to shield microwave signals and protect internal microwave functional modules. However, shielding boxes will cause problems of wall-penetrating interconnection between microwave modules inside the box and microwave connectors outside the box.

[0003] Traditional technical solutions such as Figure 4 As shown, the microwave module inside the box is generally equipped with a microstrip line interface and installed close to the inner wall of the box body. The microwave connector outside the box body is installed on the side wall of the box body. After passing through the wall, the lower surface of the central conductor of the connector contacts the upper surface of the microstrip line of the microwave module, and then the two are interconnected by welding (or crimping).

[0004] However, the above solution has the following problems:

[0005] 1. Under high power conditions, the central conductor of the connector is thicker and the welding point is larger, resulting in impedance mismatch, causing the deterioration of microwave transmission performance, and the welding point has the risk of failure under long-term conditions.

[0006] 2. The microwaves of the microwave module inside the box cannot effectively contact the side walls of the box, resulting in indirect contact between the reference ground of the microwave module and the microwave reference ground of the microwave connector outside the box. The discontinuity of the reference ground affects the microwave transmission performance after interconnection under high power and high frequency conditions. In severe cases, local air breakdown and sparking failures may occur. Summary of the invention

The length of the through-wall transition section is 2 mm greater than the thickness of the box wall.

[0013] Preferably, the flange of the microwave connector 1-2 is designed with an inner circle screw hole 1-21, an outer circle screw hole 1-23 and a rubber sealing ring 1-22, the rubber sealing ring is located between the two groups of screw holes, the inner circle screw holes are fastened with screws and then coated with sealant, the through-wall length of the microwave connector 1-2 should be the same as the length of the through-wall transition section 1-1-2, the diameter of the dielectric layer should be the same as the air dielectric diameter of the through-wall transition section 1-1-2 and maintain a certain negative tolerance, the inner diameter of the inner conductor should be the same as the diameter of the central conductor of the through-wall transition section 1-1-2 and a reed structure should be adopted.
