It plays an important role in ensuring the safe, reliable, and stable operation of the product and improving the use efficiency. Its material is generally aluminum alloy, which has high temperature resistance and heat conduction ability, can effectively help the microwave module dissipate heat, and avoid burning out components due to overheating caused by long-term use. The microwave housing can also play a certain shielding role for external electromagnetic waves and reduce the adverse effects caused by external electromagnetic radiation.
[0003] With the development of microwave switch power amplifier modules towards miniaturization and high power, the heat dissipation is continuously increasing. Moreover, due to environmental restrictions, the product module can only dissipate heat with the system by conduction, which puts higher and higher requirements on the structure of the microwave module housing. The simple housing made of ordinary heat-conducting metal materials alone cannot meet the requirements in terms of heat dissipation effect, has general shielding effect, and is insufficient in terms of maintenance convenience, resulting in the inability to guarantee the reliability of the product.

[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will make a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings of the specification.
[0025] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention.

When detailing the embodiments of the present utility model, for the convenience of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure will be locally enlarged out of the general proportion, and the schematic diagrams are only examples and should not limit the protection scope of the present utility model herein. In addition, in actual production, three-dimensional spatial dimensions including length, width and depth should be included.

The switch power amplifier module cover plate 2 is fixed to the switch power amplifier module housing 1 by eight screws. The switch power amplifier module inner cover plate 3 is fixed to the switch power amplifier module housing 1 by one hundred and forty-two screws. The feed module cover plate 4 is fixed to the switch power amplifier module housing 1 by ten screws. The sunken power amplifier module small housings 5 are respectively fixed to the switch power amplifier module housing 1 by four screws.

[0035] There is a cavity on one side of the bottom of the housing 1 of the switching power amplifier module, and the feed module circuit board 7 is installed in the cavity. The feed module cover plate 4 covers the bottom cavity. The power amplifier part and the control feed part of the module are respectively installed on the front and back sides of the housing 1 of the switching power amplifier module, improving the convenience of installation and maintenance.
[0036] There are four mounting bosses on the top of the housing 1 of the switching power amplifier module, which are connected and installed through the inner cover plate 3 of the switching power amplifier module and the cover plate 2 of the switching power amplifier module. There is one mounting hole on each of the two side surfaces of the housing 1 of the switching power amplifier module for connection and installation with the cover plate.
[0037] The three sides of the microstrip wire groove inside the housing 1 of the switching power amplifier module, the RF hole position, and the bottom surface and surrounding surfaces of the isolator installation groove all adopt gold plating technology, improving the welding performance and reliability and facilitating subsequent sintering.
[0038] The input, output, and power interfaces of the housing 1 of the switching power amplifier module are all arranged on one side panel of the module, facilitating the assembly operation.
[0039] There are six mounting bosses on the front and back of the housing 1 of the switching power amplifier module, with a boss thickness of 5 mm and a diameter of the boss mounting hole of 3.5 mm, which can ensure the firm installation of the module.
