Assembly of a low-noise block converter and a filter for a satellite antenna system, and connecting component thereof
An assembly of a low-noise block converter and a filter for a satellite antenna includes a low-noise block converter, a filter, and a connecting component. The low-noise block converter includes an output circuit, and the filter includes a filtering circuit. The connecting component includes a sleeve part for engaging threadedly the low-noise block converter and the filter, and a core extending through the sleeve part and interconnecting electrically the output circuit and the filtering circuit. By virtue of the sleeve part of the connecting component, connection between the low-noise block converter and the filter can be reinforced to reduce interference. The sleeve part can also serve as a ground circuit between the low-noise block converter and the filter so as to shorten a ground path, thereby reducing signal loss.
1. A connecting component adapted to electrically connect a first circuit of a first electronic component with a second circuit of a second electronic component, said connecting component comprising:
a sleeve part made of a conductive material, said sleeve part being in a shape of a circular tube and having an outer wall surface provided with a screw thread for engaging threadedly the first electronic component and the second electronic component;
a core that is made of a conductive material, that extends through said sleeve part, and that has two ends for connecting electrically and respectively with the first circuit and the second circuit; and
a dielectric layer disposed in said sleeve part and wrapped around said core.
2. The connecting component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of said outer wall surface of said sleeve part is provided with said screw thread.
3. The connecting component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said sleeve part further has a pair of opposite distal ends, and said outer wall surface of said sleeve part is provided with said screw thread at least at portions thereof that are respectively adjacent to said distal ends of said sleeve part.
4. The connecting component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an entire portion of said outer wall surface of said sleeve part is formed with said screw thread.
5. The connecting component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said sleeve part further has a pair of opposite distal ends, and at least one of said distal ends of said sleeve part is formed with a polygonal socket.
6. The connecting component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of said ends of said core extends outwardly through a corresponding one of said distal ends of said sleeve part.
