Abstract
The radio frequency unit of a millimeter wave terrestrial radio includes a housing with a front face and a back face, a microwave radio frequency transceiver electronics package within the housing, an antenna affixed to the front face of the housing, and appropriate signal connections and feeds. One portion of a dovetail support structure, preferably the male dovetail fitting, is affixed to the back face of the housing. The other portion of the dovetail support structure, preferably the female dovetail fitting, is mounted to a mounting structure. The dovetail support structure allows the radio frequency unit to be readily mounted to and demounted from the mounting structure. A reference plane defined between the radio frequency unit and the mounting structure allows the radio frequency unit to be precisely oriented relative to the mounting structure.
