    Abstract: The next-generation communication base station antennas represented by phased array antennas are towards high frequency, high gain, high density, and high pointing accuracy. The influence of mechanical structure factors on communication system channel quality is obviously increasing, and the electromechanical coupling problem is becoming more prominent. To effectively guarantee the realization of 5G/6G communication in complex working environments and accelerate the commercial process of future communication systems, an electromechanical coupling channel capacity model is established in comprehensive consideration of the positional shift, attitude deflection, and temperature change of the communication base station phased array antennas. It can be used to rapidly evaluate the communication index degradation of RF devices within the heating environment. Moreover, a sensitivity model of the electric field strength and array antenna channel capacity to the random position error of each element is constructed. The influence of the random positioning error of each element on the communication indicators is analyzed and compared under different working conditions. The simulation results show that the proposed model can effectively provide a theoretical basis and guiding role for the design and manufacture of high-frequency array base station antennas.

    Abstract: Active phased array antennas (APAAs) can suffer from the effects of harsh thermal environments, which are caused by the large quantity of power generated by densely packed T/R modules and external thermal impacts. The situation may be worse in the case of limited room and severe thermal loads, due to heat radiation and a low temperature sink. The temperature field of the antenna can be changed. Since large numbers of temperature-sensitive electronic components exist in T/R modules, excitation current output can be significantly affected and the electromagnetic performance of APAAs can be seriously degraded. However, due to a lack of quantitative analysis, it is difficult to directly estimate the effect of temperature on the electromagnetic performance of APAAs. Therefore, this study investigated the electromagnetic performance of APAAs as affected by two key factors—the uniformly distributed temperature field and the temperature gradient field—based on different antenna shapes and sizes, to provide theoretical guidance for their thermal design.

    Abstract: With the constant increase in communication requirements in modern society, the number and type of antennas on communication platforms have been increasing at an accelerating rate. This has led to a continuous increase in platform volume and weight, and the electromagnetic environment of antenna operating has increasingly worsened, seriously restricting the further development of communication systems. As a new communication system antenna type, a reconfigurable microstrip antenna can reconstruct operating frequencies, beam directions, etc., by changing the antenna structure to provide the good multifunction characteristics of a single antenna, avoiding the electromagnetic compatibility issues caused by numerous system antennas. At present, most of the research on reconfigurable antennas judges the influence of structural characteristics on electromagnetic characteristics by simulation, which has imposed restrictions on their development and application. Therefore, a reconfigurable antenna with a resonant frequency of 8.66 GHz and 15.26 GHz and a reconfigurable antenna with maximum radiation directions of 36.2° and −36.5° are designed in this paper, and the electromechanical coupling theory of the reconfigurable antennas is studied. The resonance frequency coupling model and the pattern function coupling model considering the structural deformation of a reconfigurable microstrip antenna are established. Within the applicable range of antenna structural parameters, the relative error between the resonance frequency coupling model and the pattern function coupling model is less than 5%, which meets practical engineering application requirements. Finally, the method is shown by experimentation to verify the accuracy and validity of the proposed electromechanical coupling model.

    Abstract: Surface mount technology (SMT) plays an important role in integrated circuits, but due to thermal stress alternation caused by temperature cycling, it tends to have thermo-mechanical reliability problems. At the same time, considering the environmental and health problems of lead (Pb)-based solders, the electronics industry has turned to lead-free solders, such as ternary alloy Sn-3Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305). As lead-free solders exhibit visco-plastic mechanical properties significantly affected by temperature, their thermo-mechanical reliability has received considerable attention. In this study, the interface delamination of an SMT solder joint using a SAC305 alloy under temperature cycling has been analyzed by the nonlinear finite element method. The results indicate that the highest contact pressure at the four corners of the termination/solder horizontal interface means that delamination is most likely to occur, followed by the y-direction side region of the solder/land interface and the top arc region of the termination/solder vertical interface. It should be noted that in order to keep the shape of the solder joint in the finite element model consistent with the actual situation after the reflow process, a minimum energy-based morphology evolution method has been incorporated into the established finite element model. Eventually, an Improved Efficient Global Optimization (IEGO) method was used to optimize the geometry of the SMT solder joint in order to reduce the contact pressure at critical points and critical regions. The optimization result shows that the contact pressure at the critical points and at the critical regions decreases significantly, which also means that the probability of thermal-induced delamination decreases.

    Abstract: There are a large number of interconnections in the microwave module, among which the lead wire interconnection is widely used. Under the environmental load, the solder joint of the lead wire interconnection often appears to have cracks and other defects, which directly affect the return loss and insertion loss when transmitting electrical signals through solder joints, and indirectly affect the performance of the microwave module. For this reason, the segmented modeling method is realized by segmenting the lead wire interconnection structure into two parts in this paper, and the equivalent circuit model of the lead wire interconnection with the cracked solder joint is established using the equivalent circuit method. The correlation mechanism of the shape of the solder joint of the lead wire interconnection is studied, and formulas for predicting electrical performance based on return loss and insertion loss are derived. This paper realizes the prediction of the electrical performance of the lead wire interconnection with the defect, and can provide a reference for engineers and technicians.

    Abstract: With the development of miniaturization and integration of electronic devices, the conventional manifold microchannels (MMCs) structure has been unable to meet the heat dissipation requirements caused by the rapid growth of internal heat flux. There is an urgent need to design a new heat dissipation structure with higher heat dissipation capacity to ensure the working stability and life of electronic devices. In this paper, we designed a novel manifold dual-microchannel (MDMC) cooling system that embedded the microchannel structure into the manifold microchannel structure. The MDMC not only has good heat dissipation performance that can meet the development needs of electronic equipment to miniaturization and integration, but also has a compact structure that does not increase the overall thickness and volume compared with MMC. The high temperature uniformity and heat transfer performance of MDMC are significantly improved compared to MMC. The Tmax is reduced by 13.6% and 17.5% at the heat flux density of 300 W/cm2 and 700 W/cm2, respectively. In addition, the influence of the inlet−2 velocity and the total microchannels number on the heat transfer performance of the MDMC structure are numerically investigated. The results show that the decrease rate of Tmax and ΔT is about 6.69% and 16% with the increase of inlet−2 velocity from 1.2 m/s to 2.4 m/s and microchannels number from 10 to 48, respectively. At the same time, the best temperature uniformity is obtained when the number of microchannels is 16.

    Abstract: With the huge requirement of high frequency, multi-function and high reliability, the quality of microwave circuit interconnection has become an important factor that significantly affects the improvement of microwave electronic system performance. This paper has presented an identification method for flexible conductor wire interconnection (FCWI) electromechanical coupling parameters in microwave circuits with the consideration of their interaction effect. First, a parametric characterization cascade function has been proposed to design the FCWI, and consequently, a three-dimensional electromagnetic structure model of FCWI has been developed and verified. In order to identify the electromechanical coupling parameters of the flexible interconnection considering the interaction effect effectively, this paper has used the range multi-objective function to select the optimal level of the configuration parameter of the flexible interconnection that affects the signal transmission loss. Based on the variance analysis and range analysis of the experimental results, the comprehensive judgment criterion of electromechanical coupling parameters of flexible interconnection can be defined, and therefore, the calculation of electromechanical coupling degree can be derived and the electromechanical coupling property identification of flexible interconnection has been obtained. An example has been used afterwards to verify the accuracy of the proposed method. The method proposed in this paper can be a promising tool for microwave circuit comprehensive design and the optimization of its interconnection, considering both mechanical reliability and electrical performance.
