Power feed hole 1313 cooperates the quick positioning, it can be achieved that signal terminal 121 and feeder line 135.Moreover, being drawn by stabilizer blade 123
Signal terminal 121, therefore only need to carry out primary welding operation at feed pad 1315, to reduce welding times.In addition,
Due to the position-limiting action of power feed hole 1313, stabilizer blade 123 is not easily to fall off, to can also promote phase-shift circuit 120 and feeder line 135
The reliability of electrical connection.
It is electrically connected it should be pointed out that other modes realization also can be used between phase-shift circuit 120 and feeder line 135.
For example, the phase shift feeder equipment 100 in embodiment illustrated in fig. 4 two uses feed wire 150 to connect phase-shift circuit 120 and feedback
Electric line 135.
In example 2, the phase shift feeder equipment 100 in phase shift feeder equipment 100 and the utility model preferred embodiment
Difference be: phase shift feeder equipment 100 further includes the feed wire 150 for being arranged in power feed hole 1313.The one of feed wire 150
End is welded with signal terminal 121, and the other end and feed pad 1315 are welded.
Specifically, the feed wire 150 can be metal conductor rod, metallic conductor piece or PCB circuit board.When feed is led
When passing through power feed hole 1313 bending, distortion can occur for line 150.Therefore, though multiple signal terminals 121 not with multiple feeds
Hole 1313 is aligned one by one, can also smoothly realize electrical connection eventually by feed wire 150.That is, the side of above-mentioned electrical connection
Requirement of the formula for the 131 aperture precision of assembly precision and substrate of phase-shift circuit 120 is relatively low, and it is good that this is conducive to promotion product
Rate.

Body, the local hollow out of the first metal layer 1332, feeder line 135 is formed in hollowed out area.Therefore, feeder line 125 with
Insulation is realized by forming gap between the first metal layer 1332.Moreover, second metal layer 1334 is whole face plate structure, therefore can
The hollowed out area of the first metal layer 1332 is realized and is blocked, so that the closure of shielding cavity is more preferable, to promote shield effectiveness.
Moreover, in order to keep away position to the realization of feeder line 135, the edge of the opening of metal cavity 110 101, which is also provided with, to be kept away position and lacks
Mouth 102.
It is appreciated that on the basis of example 2, it can also be by phase-shift circuit 120 in embodiment three and feeder line 135
Electric connection mode be deformed into feed wire 150 connection.
Above-mentioned phase shift feeder equipment 100, metal cavity 110 is U-type groove structure, and cooperatively forms shielding with ground plane 133
Chamber, to play the role of conventional phase shifter cavity.A side wall due to ground plane 133 as shielding cavity, therefore metal cavity
110 are then omitted a side wall compared to traditional phaser cavity, thus in the premise for guaranteeing 100 function of phase shift feeder equipment
Under, it is substantially reduced the thickness and weight of metal cavity 110.In addition, metal cavity 110 and feeding network plate 130 are arranged totally,
And signal terminal 121 is electrically connected with feeder line 135, therefore feeder line can be also realized on the basis of not using coaxial feeder
135 pairs of phase-shift circuits 120 are fed.Therefore, the volume of above-mentioned phase shift feeder equipment 100 reduces, structure simplifies, to be conducive to reality
The miniaturization of existing antenna for base station.
