The other electronic component circuits on the upper surface are located in the second electronic component groove, the transmitter circuit is located in the transmitter and electronic component shielding groove 16, and the receiver circuit is located in the receiver and electronic component shielding groove 17.
[0048] The RF connector 13 is an MCX interface. The MCX RF interface 13 and the power interface 12 are arranged in a straight line, allowing for compact layout within limited space and convenient and quick plugging and unplugging. The fiber optic connector is an SC / PC interface, which can be replaced with FC connectors, LC connectors, etc.
[0049] The shielding and transmission of signals between the transmitting and receiving ends are achieved through the first electronic component groove 15, the second electronic component groove 18, the transmitting end and the electronic component shielding groove 16, and the receiving end and the electronic component shielding groove 17, ensuring stable transmission and non-interference of signals between each channel.
[0050] There are two shielding ring mounting slots 11, which are located on the inner wall of the first through hole.
[0051] The top cover 1 is fitted onto the base 4 and encloses the mounting groove to form a receiving space. The top cover 1 has a second through hole that runs vertically through it. The countersunk screw 2 passes through the second through hole and the PCB assembly 3 from top to bottom and then screws into the mounting threaded hole 6 to fix the top cover 1 onto the base 4, thus achieving a detachable connection.
[0052] There are two shielding rings 8, which are respectively installed in the shielding ring mounting slots 11 and 20 and fitted onto the transceiver devices of the laser assembly 9. One shielding ring 8 is placed in each of the shielding ring mounting slots 11 and 20 to isolate the structure from the outside and prevent external signal crosstalk.
[0053] The first thermal pad placement 10 is disposed on the bottom surface of the mounting groove. The first thermal pad placement 10 is located between the base 4 and the laser assembly 9 and is in contact with the lower surface of the transceiver device of the laser assembly 9 to enhance heat transfer.

Both the upper cover 1 and the base 4 are machined with mutually spaced cavities to avoid the electronic components and optical devices on the upper and lower parts of PCB assembly 3, and at the same time prevent crosstalk between signals. The optical paths are isolated by the shielding ring 8 and the structure to realize the crosstalk between internal and external signals and between internal components.
[0057] The SC connector of the laser assembly 9 is placed outside the mechanical structure to ensure that the connector end is not affected during installation. At the same time, the fiber optic connector is on the outside for easy insertion and removal. The upper cover 1 is machined with positioning pin holes, and the base 4 is equipped with positioning pins 7. The PCB assembly 3 is provided with positioning holes for the positioning pins 7 to pass through. When the upper cover 1 and the base 4 are assembled, the positioning pins 7 pass through the positioning holes of the PCB assembly 3 and are inserted into the positioning pin holes for positioning, so as to ensure that they can be in the correct position during installation. The external RF head 13 and power interface 12 are connected to the application end threaded holes through the surrounding positioning through holes and connected from the RF and power grooves 5 to ensure interface installation and adaptation.
[0058] After assembly, the bottom surface of the base 4 has an external positioning hole 21, which can mate with positioning pins on other external structures to ensure precise matching and good consistency of the RF and power supplies during insertion and removal.

The lower right corner of the horizontal axis represents test data within 9GHz, and the vertical axis represents data from -30 to -130Db. The data shows that all points fall below -50Db, demonstrating superior performance. The module integrates pluggable RF and power connectors, and the optical transceiver interface uses a two-in-one, pluggable standard SC connector fiber optic cable, resulting in high integration and ease of packaging, transportation, and system use. The module's shielding capability and integration performance are significantly improved, offering powerful performance suitable for indoor applications and various environments such as large shopping malls, high-rise residential communities, and office settings.
