[0029] The assembly of the microwave assembly is carried out, and the pre-set soldering tin solder is of a uniform temperature gradient.

[0030] In the actual welding process, the circuit board 2 may be warped due to flatness problems, resulting in unqualified cavity rate and affecting the radio frequency performance of the assembly.
