Adapter plate for HF structures
What is provided is an adapter plate for HF structures, which is set up for being disposed between a back of a circuit board and a reflector, wherein the adapter plate is electrically conductive, and the adapter plate has an opening or a cavity at every location where an element is passed through the circuit board to the side of the adapter plate, wherein at least one element is passed through the circuit board exclusively for ground contacting.
1. An adapter plate for HF structures, which is electrically conductive and set up for being disposed between a back of a circuit board and a reflector, wherein an element is passed through the circuit board to the side of the adapter plate, wherein the adapter plate at every location where an element is passed through the circuit board to the side of the adapter plate has an opening into which the element protrudes out of contact with the adapter plate and the reflector closing the opening and wherein the adapter plate has thickness such that (i) the bottommost surface of the element is level with a bottom most surface of the adapter plate or (ii) the bottommost surface of the element is above the bottommost surface of the adapter plate or an outward bulge into which the element protrudes out of contact therewith, said outward bulge extending into a recess or gap of the reflector out of contact therewith, wherein at least one element is passed through the circuit board exclusively for ground contacting.
2. The adapter plate for HF structures according to claim 1 , wherein at least one further element is configured as an inner conductor pin.
3. The adapter plate for HF structures according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter plate is configured in such a manner that it comprises a recess for guiding at least one cable.
4. The adapter plate for HF structures according to claim 3 , wherein the recess is configured as a shield element for shielding the radiating part of the at least one cable.
5. The adapter plate for HF structures according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter plate is configured in such a manner that it comprises a fixation element for fixation of at least one cable.
6. The adapter plate for HF structures according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter plate is made of plastic that has a conductive coating or conductive properties.
7. The adapter plate for HF structures according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter plate is formed by means of a deep-drawing method.
8. The adapter plate for HF structures according to claim 1 , wherein the elements passed through the circuit board to the side of the adapter plate comprise connectors or pins, at least one attachment for HF components on the circuit board and/or cable connectors.
