Integral High Frequency Communication Apparatus Environmental Sealing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional high frequency communication apparatuses for outdoor use are susceptible to environmental factors due to exposed components, leading to penetration of dust and moisture and increased volume, which affects transmission efficiency and reliability.
Innovation Solution
An integral design where the waveguide apparatus is fully or partially enclosed within a case, using a spacing module and sealing mechanisms like adhesive or O-rings to isolate the interior from the atmosphere, minimizing exposure and enhancing protection against environmental influences, while maintaining signal transmission capabilities through an extension portion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the waveguide apparatus is exposed to the atmosphere for signal transmission, then signal transmission capability is maintained, but dust and moisture can penetrate the interior through interfaces, reducing reliability
Solution Approach 1:
The waveguide apparatus is nested inside the case, with only the extension portion exposed. This nested structure protects the main body of the waveguide from environmental factors while maintaining signal transmission capability through the exposed extension portion.
Solution Approach 2:
The case acts as an intermediary barrier between the waveguide apparatus and the external environment. It isolates the interior components from dust and moisture while allowing the extension portion to protrude for necessary signal transmission.
2Ease of manufacture
If the waveguide apparatus is combined with the case surface using fastening devices, then assembly is achieved, but the volume of the entire apparatus increases
Solution Approach 1:
The waveguide apparatus and case are merged into a single integrated structure where the waveguide is formed within the case body itself. This eliminates the need for separate fastening devices and reduces the overall apparatus volume.
3Device complexity
If the waveguide apparatus is erected on the case, then assembly is simplified, but the volume of the entire apparatus becomes large
Solution Approach 1:
The waveguide apparatus is nested within the case rather than being erected on its surface. This nested configuration reduces the overall volume while maintaining assembly simplicity through integrated design.

AI summary
An integral high frequency communication apparatus comprises a case, a waveguide apparatus having an extension portion, and a circuit board having a signal transmitting unit and a signal receiving unit. The transceiver module having two waveguide openings is retained in the case. The case has an opening through which the extension portion extends outside of the case. The integral high frequency communication apparatus can receive and transmit high frequency signals by the extension portion.
