A system and method of constructing a phased array antenna system that incorporates a printed wiring board assembly with a metallic waveguide plate is provided. The system uses a metallic waveguide plate to dissipate heat toward and through the waveguide portion of the system.

An optical fiber mounting device is shown which assembles the optical fiber in a ferrule which is inserted in a spherical member. The spherical member is then assembled in a spherical housing cavity and clamped by conventional means. To allow for vertical adjustment of the fiber, a spherical member may be slotted allowing sliding engagement of the ferrule. The ferrule is clamped in place when the slots are closed by the clamping action of the housing.
