Microwave Perfromance and Applications of Metal Sintered Components

由增材制造（ALM）生产的RF和MW器件。有效表面电阻由精细的表面细节如表面的纹理和电气质量决定。该项目将研究ALM工艺的优化，以生产低微波表面电阻的3D表面，包括构建方向和构建室参数的影响。然后将这些原理应用于生产新颖的，基于3D波导的组件，这些组件无法以其他方式制造。这些将首先作为传输元件进行测试，然后用于形成简单的微波元件，如带通滤波器。

RF and MW Devices produced by Additive layer manufacturing (ALM). The effective surface resistance is dominated by fine surface details such as texture and the electrical quality of the surface. This project will investigate the optimisation of the ALM process for the production of 3D surfaces for low microwave surface resistance, including the effects of build orientation and build chamber parameters. It will then apply these principles in the production of novel, 3D waveguide-based components which could not otherwise be manufactured. These will be first tested as transmission components and then be used to form simple microwave components such as bandpass filters.
