Microwave Perfromance and Applications of Metal Sintered Components

由加层制造(ALM)生产的射频和毫瓦器件。有效的表面电阻取决于表面的细微细节，例如表面的纹理和电性。该项目将研究用于生产低微波表面电阻的3D表面的ALM工艺的优化，包括构建方向和构建腔参数的影响。然后，它将把这些原理应用到以3D波导为基础的新型组件的生产中，否则无法制造这些组件。它们将首先作为传输组件进行测试，然后用于形成简单的微波组件，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.
