We propose a conceptually new method of manufacturing high-performance microwave components at the low-cost and short lead time using liquid form conductors and 3D printing technology. Innovation consists in developing surface roughness free waveguide- and coaxial-based RF and microwave devices, in one-single-piece. This technique can be further extended to create high-performance reconfigurable RF and microwave devices such as filters, antennas, directional couplers, phase shifters and switches by manipulating the locations of the liquid conductors. Furthermore, the method will enable the management of heat generated in high-power applications. Australian telecommunication industry and defence will benefit from the outcome of this project.

我们提出了一种概念上的新方法，利用液态成形导体和3D打印技术，以低成本和短交货期制造高性能微波组件。创新之处在于开发单片无表面粗糙度的波导型和同轴型射频和微波器件。这项技术可以进一步扩展，通过操纵液体导体的位置来创造高性能的可重构射频和微波器件，如滤波器、天线、定向耦合器、移相器和开关。此外，该方法将能够管理在高功率应用中产生的热量。澳大利亚电信业和国防将从该项目的成果中受益。
