Claim 0:
1. A circuit card assembly adapting a host circuit card assembly of a host device with an expansion card for communication to an access point of an avionics network, the circuit card assembly comprising:
a circuit card including a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, and a plurality of mounting holes for mounting the circuit card assembly to a host chassis of the host device;
a first interface disposed on the first side of the circuit card for receiving power from the host circuit card assembly;
a second interface disposed on the first side of the circuit card for receiving an edge connector of the expansion card, wherein the power is continually provided to the second interface for powering a real-time clock of the expansion card, wherein the second interface is a socket connector;
at least one coaxial radio frequency connector disposed on the first side of the circuit card for receiving a modulated radio frequency signal modulated by a radio-frequency module of the expansion card; and
an antenna disposed on the second side of the circuit card and communicatively coupled to the at least one coaxial radio frequency connector, the antenna transmitting radio waves based on the modulated radio frequency signal.
