Abstract
The purpose of a microwave package is to integrate all the components of a sub-system in such a way to minimize size, mass, complexity and cost. This paper addresses the design, modeling and analysis of transponder casing for satellite communication payload. The design was checked for its performance under all critical loading conditions and was found to meet all requirements including stiffness and stability. The casing was fabricated and it showed compliance to dimensional accuracy requirements. The new improvised casing weighed 1.275 kg achieving a mass saving of around 22% on the existing structure.
