ABSTRACT: Transceiver module and two-dimensional sum difference network are important components of phased array antenna. In this paper, multilayer printed board is used to integrate millimeter wave multi-channel transceiver circuit and sum difference network. The interconnection between them is realized through RF coaxial vertical transition. At the same time, the heat dissipation design and inter channel shielding design of the module are carried out. The RF and low frequency required by the module are completed through the wiring between and within the dielectric plate layers. Finally, 128 arrays are fabricated and verified by multi-channel passive test. The results show that the type transceiver module integrating with two-dimensional sum difference network has good performance, and 128 channels have excellent amplitude and phase characteristics. The integration technology has the characteristics of lightweight, miniaturization, high integration and low manufacturing cost. It can be widely used in miniaturized phased array antennas.
