  • Patent number: 11855673
    Abstract: Described herein are radio tray assemblies that include space for a specific radio and its power supply and that additionally provide cooling and power conversion and control functionalities. The disclosed radio tray assemblies are designed to have a form factor compatible with legacy radio systems (e.g., MIDS-LVT) while enabling installation of a new radio system (e.g., MIDS-JTRS). The disclosed radio tray assemblies are configured so that the radio and its power supply are secured to a tray so that the radio and power supply are side-by-side and parallel lengthwise. A cooling module or assembly of the disclosed radio tray assemblies is disposed immediately behind the radio and its power supply and is configured to cool these units using forced air cooling directed lengthwise through the radio and its power supply. A power converter and controller module converts input power into the power required by the radio power supply.
