one side of the heat dissipation assembly 1 is abutted with the antenna array surface unit, and the antenna array surface unit dissipates heat to the heat dissipation assembly 1 through an abutting surface when working.
In this embodiment, one side of the heat dissipation assembly 1 is abutted with the antenna array surface unit, at this time, the antenna array surface unit can emit heat to the heat dissipation assembly 1 through the abutting surface, and then the heat generated during operation is emitted through the heat dissipation assembly 1, so that the heat dissipation performance of the phased array antenna can be greatly improved, and the requirement of a plurality of antenna array surface units on heat dissipation during simultaneous operation can be met.
In the present embodiment, the antenna array plane unit has a function of transmitting and receiving signals, and the antenna unit 411 can be mounted.
In this embodiment, the beam scanning range of the phased array can be increased by arranging a plurality of antenna array surface units in the circumferential direction of the heat dissipating component 1.
It should be noted that, a plurality of antenna array units may be symmetrically disposed on opposite sides of the heat dissipation assembly 1, and in the example of the up and down directions in fig. 1, the antenna array units may be symmetrically disposed on the up and down sides of the heat dissipation assembly 1, so as to further improve the beam scanning range of the phased array.
