Electric device comprising integrated circuits

Claim 1

An electronic device comprising: a case made of conductive material; an intermediate partitional wall dividing the interior of the case into first and second electromagnetically isolated compartments; a single interrupting wall disposed perpendicularly on said intermediate partitional wall and within said first compartment; a plurality of integrated circuit substrates including microwave integrated circuits which form a main signal circuit for processing an input signal and emitting an output signal, said integrated circuit substrates being grounded to said intermediate partitional wall in said first compartment and arrayed in two rows, each of said rows including substantially the same number of microwave integrated circuits, and being electromagnetically separated by said interrupting wall which is interposed between said rows; means, electrically connected to said microwave integrated circuits, for electrically interconnecting said microwave integrated circuits in each of said two rows; strip circuit means, positioned at one end of said interrupting wall, for electrically connecting said two rows of microwave integrated circuits; a circuit board secured to said intermediate partitional wall in said second compartment, and having at least a power circuit formed thereon electrically connected to at least one of said microwave integrated circuits; connecting elements, electrically connecting said microwave integrated circuits and said power circuit, said connecting elements extending perpendicularly through said intermediate partitional wall and arranged on either side of the interrupting wall and along side said substrates; and a signal input terminal and a signal output terminal each electrically connected to said microwave integrated circuits, and extending through one of the side walls of said case.
