Description
This presentation will focus on the development of waveguide components for antenna-feed chains operating from Ku band to Q band through Selective Laser Melting (SLM).
The variety of components encompasses feed-horns, ortho-mode transducers, septum polarizers, filters, bends and twists. The design of each component has been conceived in view of the additive manufacturing implementation. The corresponding breadboards have been manufactured in AlSi10Mg without metal coating.
Integration of RF functionalities will also be discussed.
Why your contribution is relevant for the event?
The activity and the results to be presented originate from the joint efforts of complementary research groups:
- the CNR-IEIIT unit with expertise in the development of microwave devices and antennas.
- the Integrated Additive Manufacturing center that joins researchers from the Italian Institute of Technology and two Departments of Politecnico di Torino with expertise in material science, mechanical engineering, and production engineering.
The collaboration between the research units guarantees a multidisciplinary approach to the problem, covering all the aspects in the specific area of AM for RF devices
