Abstract
A heat exchanger and an antenna assembly having the same are described herein that enable a compact antenna design with good thermal management. In one example, a heat exchanger is provided that includes tube-shaped body. A main cooling volume is formed between the top and bottom surfaces proximate to the outside wall. The main cooling volume has an inlet formed through the top surface and an outlet formed through the bottom surface. A return volume is formed adjacent the inside diameter wall and is circumscribed by the main cooling volume. The return volume has an outlet formed through the top surface and an inlet formed through the bottom surface. One or more exterior fins are coupled to an exterior side of the outside wall. A plurality of fins extend into the main cooling volume. A plurality of inner fins extend into a passage from the inside diameter wall.
