An 'orthogonally stacked' support and cooling architecture for RF signaling circuits includes a plurality of RF amplifier circuit cards mounted on edge-mountable RF printed circuit support and heat dissipation modules, that are affixed to a first side of a base plate, so that the RF circuit cards extend in a direction that is generally orthogonal to the base plate. Arranged on a second side of the base plate are RF distribution networks for the RF circuit cards. The RF signal distribution networks are RF-coupled to the RF printed circuit boards by blind-mating, square post type multi-pin connectors through the base plate. Orienting the RF distribution networks in a plane orthogonal to the RF circuit cards and having the heat exchangers extend into gaps between the modules serves to considerably reduce the size of the architecture.
