Abstract:
An air-cooled heat exchanger 102 includes a housing 201 having an intake 202 for air flowing through the housing and at least one outlet 203, 204 for the air flowing through the housing. A set of segmented fins 206 extend within the housing between the intake and the at least one outlet, configured to direct the air flowing through the housing. Each segment of the segmented fins has a length selected based on a throw distance for an environmental protection coating process employed to apply an environmental protection coating to surfaces of the fin segments. Access ports 207 extend through at least one wall of the housing at locations allowing connection, when the access ports are unblocked, of electrical conductors used in the environmental protection coating process to both ends of each of the fin segments. Access port covers 401 block each of the access ports during operation of the air-cooled heat exchanger.
Abstract:
A tile subarray includes an upper multi-layer assembly (UMLA) provided from a first plurality of printed circuit boards and a lower multi-layer assembly (LMLA) provided from a second plurality of printed circuit boards. Each of the UMLA and LMLA includes one or more radio frequency (RF) interconnects between different circuit layers on different circuit boards which make up the UMLA and LMLA. The RF interconnects can include one or more RF matching pads which provide a mechanism for matching impedance characteristics of RF stubs to provide the RF interconnects having desired insertion loss and impedance characteristics over a desired RF operating frequency band. The RF matching pads allow the manufacture of circuit boards having RF interconnects without the need to perform any back drill and back fill operation to remove stub portions of the RF interconnects in the UMLA and LMLA.
