RF-Bracket Design: Mass reduction of a mechanical bracket by redesigning the bracket without compromising on thermal, structural and EMC aspects

This thesis shows the mass reduction of a mechanical bracket, without compromising on thermal, EMC and structural aspects. The focus was on analysing thermal aspects related to bracket design. Models were made to show the deflection and solder layer stresses due to CTE mismatches between the bracket and PCB. A thermal heat transfer model was...
