description A radar system requires a number of high-power components operating in a narrow and convection-free environment. This study aims to develop an integrated heat dissipation system that is suitable for the high-power electronic equipment of radar systems. The proposed heat dissipation mechanism integrates a fluid circulation-type cold plate with a quad transmit receive module. The finite element method in the COMSOL fluid–solid coupling heat transfer analysis software was used to analyze the heat dissipation performance of the cold plate in the proposed mechanism. The Taguchi method was adopted to optimize the cold plate design. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed mechanism can control the temperature equalization and temperature of the system within the specified requirements. The practicality of the proposed mechanism was verified. The findings can serve as a reference for the design of high-power electronic equipment in a heat dissipation system.
