Abstract

A transmit/receive module and RF elements are constructed as a sub-assembly. Notches are formed along the edges of two parallel spaced antenna planes. These notches engage mating notches formed in the element of the sub-assembly thereby retaining the sub-assembly by "snap-in" action. Conversely, the sub-assembly may be quickly disassembled by unsnapping the engagement of the sub-assembly and antenna plane.
