After the excitation signal is divided into two paths by the first 3dB waveguide bridge 17, the signal is amplified by the W-band bidirectional amplifier, and then the power is synthesized by the second 3dB waveguide bridge 17; finally, the signal passes through the fourth cavity through the W-band waveguide port and is transmitted to the antenna. During reception, the receiving signal is input through the antenna and the W waveguide port. Among them, two receiving signals are in the third cavity, and are successively passed through the 3dB waveguide bridge 17, the W-band bidirectional amplifier 18, the 3dB waveguide bridge 17, and the W-band frequency doubling and mixing multifunctional chip 16, and are down-converted into intermediate frequency signals, and are vertically transmitted to the external SMP connector 9 in the second cavity through the internal surface-mounted SMP connector 13 and the KK connector for output; the other two receiving signals are directly transmitted to the second cavity through the W-band waveguide port 7, and are successively passed through the low-noise amplifier, the W-band frequency doubling and mixing multifunctional chip, the phase shifter, and the switch, and are output through the external SMP connector 9.

[0044] Furthermore, the present application optimizes and improves the Ka-band microwave transceiver circuit. The Ka-band transceiver circuit is a one-transmitter and three-receiver architecture, in which one transceiver circuit is arranged in the third cavity, and the other two receiving circuits are arranged in the second cavity. Each circuit is provided with a mixer to perform up and down conversion on the Ka-band signal. When this scheme is adopted, the Ka-band signal flows as follows: when transmitting, first, the intermediate frequency excitation signal is input by the external SMP connector 9 in the second cavity, and is vertically transmitted to the microstrip circuit in the third cavity through the KK connector; secondly, in the third cavity, the intermediate frequency signal is up-converted through the driver and the mixer to obtain the Ka-band excitation signal; finally, after two stages of power amplification, the signal passes through the circulator, passes through the Ka-band waveguide port 6, and passes through the fourth cavity to transmit the signal to the antenna. During reception, the received signal is input through the antenna and the Ka-band waveguide port 6, two of which are in the second cavity and the other in the third cavity. They pass through the low-noise amplifier, mixer, phase shifter, and switch in turn and are output through the external SMP connector 9.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, the third cavity is equipped with a second local oscillator distribution circuit, and the second local oscillator distribution circuit has a second common distribution link and multiple second distribution branches that are communicatively connected; the second common distribution link is communicatively connected to the single frequency doubling multifunctional chip 14; multiple second distribution branches are communicatively connected to the W / Ka transceiver frequency conversion circuit and the local oscillator signal receiving waveguide port, and the local oscillator signal receiving waveguide port passes through the third cavity cover plate 3 and is communicatively connected to the local oscillator signal transmitting waveguide port.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, the adjacent first cavity cover plate 1 , first double-sided cavity plate 2 , third cavity cover plate 3 , second double-sided cavity plate 4 and fourth cavity cover plate 5 are all connected by screws.
