[0002] The down-conversion module is the core component of the radar warning receiver of electronic warfare equipment. It is responsible for filtering, down-converting, amplifying and processing the enemy radar signal received by the antenna and transmitting it to the signal processor. Radar warning receivers usually face non-cooperative enemy radar signals with wide airspace and wide frequency bandwidth. It is necessary to process the complex and changeable electromagnetic signals through the down-conversion module with extremely high difficulty to obtain low noise, low spurious, high gain and large dynamic effects, thereby greatly improving the sensitivity of electronic reconnaissance, effectively detecting the enemy radar position and achieving excellent technical indicators. The traditional down-conversion module adopts a two-dimensional plane assembly method, which is large in size and weight. With the development of a new generation of electronic warfare platforms such as intelligent drones and decoy jammers, the installation space is greatly limited. The traditional two-dimensional plane assembly down-conversion module cannot meet the requirements of miniaturization and lightweight in size and weight.
