Abstract

An antenna apparatus is disclosed, including a lower housing, a middle housing disposed on the lower housing and having one surface formed with one or more first heat dissipation fins, a first accommodation space formed by the lower housing and the middle housing, at least one first heat-generating element disposed in the first accommodation space, one or more heat dissipation supports each disposed on the middle housing and having at least one surface formed with one or more second heat dissipation fins, and an antenna module supported on the one or more heat dissipation supports.

Claims (59)

1. An antenna apparatus, comprising:

a lower housing;

a middle housing disposed on the lower housing and having one surface formed with one or more first heat dissipation fins;

a first accommodation space formed by the lower housing and the middle housing;

at least one first heat-generating element disposed in the first accommodation space;

one or more heat dissipation supports each disposed on the middle housing and having at least one surface formed with one or more second heat dissipation fins; and

an antenna module supported on the one or more heat dissipation supports,

wherein the heat dissipation supports protrude in a first direction and comprise:

two or more heat dissipation supports spaced apart along a second direction different from the first direction, and

wherein the first heat dissipation fins are disposed to be spaced apart from each other in the second direction between adjacent ones of the heat dissipation supports and protrude in an upright direction of the heat dissipation supports.

2. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first heat dissipation fins comprise:

two or more heat dissipation fins having a first height; and

at least one heat dissipation fin disposed between the two or more heat dissipation fins and having a second height greater than the first height.

3. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first heat dissipation fins are formed to have an equal height.

4. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation supports extend in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction and further comprise:

at least one mesh member disposed adjacent to an opposite end to one end of the heat dissipation support in a direction in which the heat dissipation support extends.

5. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first accommodation space is configured to accommodate a power supply unit (PSU).

6. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipation supports are each configured to electrically connect the antenna module with elements disposed in the first accommodation space.

7. The antenna apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the heat dissipation support comprises:

a second accommodation space formed internally of the heat dissipation support;

a substrate disposed in the second accommodation space; and

one or more FPGA elements mounted on the substrate.

8. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the antenna module comprises:

a printed circuit board (PCB) and antenna elements mounted on the PCB.

9. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a digital board disposed in the first accommodation space and having a digital processing circuit.

10. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the lower housing comprises:

a heat dissipation bottom protruding downward from at least one surface of the lower housing.

11. The antenna apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a radome disposed on the antenna module.

12. An antenna apparatus, comprising:

a lower housing;

a middle housing disposed on the lower housing and having one surface formed with one or more first heat dissipation fins;

a first accommodation space formed by the lower housing and the middle housing;

at least one first heat-generating element disposed in the first accommodation space;

one or more heat dissipation supports each disposed on the middle housing and having at least one surface formed with one or more second heat dissipation fins; and

an antenna module supported on the one or more heat dissipation supports,

wherein the heat dissipation supports protrude in a first direction and comprise:

two or more heat dissipation supports spaced apart along a second direction different from the first direction, and

wherein the heat dissipation supports extend in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction and further comprise:

one or more second heat dissipation fins protruding in the second direction from the at least one side of the heat dissipation supports and extending along the third direction.

13. The antenna apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the second heat dissipation fins are disposed to be spaced apart from each other along an upright direction of the heat dissipation supports.

14. The antenna apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the second heat dissipation fins comprise:

two or more heat dissipation fins having a first width; and

at least one heat dissipation fin disposed between the two or more heat dissipation fins and having a second width greater than the first width.

15. The antenna apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the heat dissipation support and the second heat dissipation fins are integrally manufactured through extrusion molding.

16. An antenna apparatus, comprising:

a lower housing;

a middle housing disposed on the lower housing and having one surface formed with one or more first heat dissipation fins;

a first accommodation space formed by the lower housing and the middle housing;

at least one first heat-generating element disposed in the first accommodation space;

one or more heat dissipation supports each disposed on the middle housing and having at least one surface formed with one or more second heat dissipation fins; and

an antenna module supported on the one or more heat dissipation supports,

wherein the heat dissipation supports protrude in a first direction and comprise:

two or more heat dissipation supports spaced apart along a second direction different from the first direction, and

wherein the heat dissipation supports extend in a third direction different from the first direction and the second direction and further comprise:

at least one blower fan module disposed adjacent to one end of the heat dissipation support in a direction in which the heat dissipation support extends, and configured to cool the heat dissipation support.

17. The antenna apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the blower fan module has at least one surface formed with protective protrusions protruding outward.

18. The antenna apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the blower fan module has at least one surface formed with one or more grip parts protruding outward.
