Description

Using 3D manufacturing techniques to develop single mode and dual mode waveguide filters. To design filters without being bounded by traditional manufacturing techniques. The development of new resonant cavity shaping to not only control the in band performance of the filter but also the out-of-band. In effect having dual functionality in one unit; in one shared space. The limitation with the dual mode is having to already share the same physical space with two resonances, this then only allows you limited changes to the structure which will hold these resonances. The single mode filter showed much more flexibility than the dual mode. The single mode filter has been completely reimagined and the results are benefits technically and commercially. This project designed and built samples, developed an optimisation algorithm, and put these findings into a final build Dual and Single Mode filter.

Short Speaker Information

Speakers are listed below:

Paul Booth: Airbus DS.
Paul is the key design responsible for the program and is responsible for the design of the Single mode filter.
