Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

One design aspect in electronic systems, such as communication systems, is noise suppression. More particularly, this relates to microphonics suppression in high-speed communication systems, such as microwave wireless radio systems. The present invention contemplates system design for substantially eliminating microphonic behavior created by mechanical stimulus such as vibrations and the drum effect. A preferred approach includes isolating the motherboard from its mounting harnesses (mechanical interconnection) and adding an echo damping and shock absorption pad to the underside of the enclosure cover to stiffen the enclosure cover while maintaining its light weight. Preferably also, this approach isolates the entire motherboard rather than a particular component. A design using this approach is particularly useful in an outdoor unit (ODU) of a split-mount microwave radio system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for suppressing microphonics in an assembly of an electronic system, the method comprising: providing a support structure for an assembly, the assembly including various functional subassemblies of an electronic system, the support structure including an isolation component and a standoff, the isolation component being shaped to support the assembly and being operative to provide a soft mount for the assembly, and the standoff being operatively coup…
