Study on Design of Novel Function/Structure Integration Mounting Plate for Space borne SAR Antenna for Wireless Communication

Abstract

Abstract A novel lightweight and high-precision synthetic aperture radar (SAR) antenna mounting plate scheme based on functional structure integration technology is proposed. The thermal control function, high and low frequency blind insertion signal transmission function of the system are combined with the antenna structure to greatly reduce the size and weight of SAR antenna. The design verification of a high-density integrated SAR antenna mounting plate breaks through the key process technologies such as accurate splicing of multiple interfaces of the mounting plate, highly reliable cementation of non-uniform honeycomb and large-scale warpage control, and solves the key technical difficulties of high precision, high temperature and high reliability. The results show that the antenna mounting plate (size 649mm × 430mm) the overall flatness is better than 0.28mm, the thickness limit dimension deviation is less than 0.1mm, and the temperature consistency is less than 1.8°C. It can meet the requirements of lightweight, structural stiffness and strength, RF blind plug connection and heat dissipation for space borne SAR antenna.
