doi:10.3901/JME.2023.20.338

Abstract

Abstract: High-performance electronic equipment(HPEE) is extensively applied in the areas of radar, deep-space detection, radio astronomy, communication, navigation, remote sensing and so on. Its design and manufacturing capabilities are the important sign of national scientific and technological level and strength. The development of mechatronics of HPEE is reviewed in term of design, and the three phases, i.e., Independent/Syntheses/Coupling between mechanical and electronic technologies (IMET/SMET/CMET), are described. The distinct evolution progress in mechatronic is shown, and the connotation and advantage of CMET of electronic equipment are revealed. On this basis, with typical cases such as reflector antenna, planar slot antenna(PSA) and active phased array antenna(APAA), the electromagnetic field-displacement field-temperature field coupling model of HPEE is mathematically deduced. The influence mechanism(IM) of nonlinear mechanical & structural factors on the electromagnetic performance of HPEE of PSA and APAA is revealed. Finally, aiming at the future development, the new challenges in electromechanical coupling theories and technologies are proposed.

Key words: electronic equipment, independent between mechanical and electronic technologies(IMET), syntheses between mechanical and electronic technologies(SMET), coupling between mechanical and electronic technologies(CMET)
