Description

Traditional fabrication methods lead to antennas and RF components that are larger and heavier than required to achieve a desired function. Metal additive manufacturing allows the designer to reimagine how these structures fit within a 3D volume, leading to significant reduction in size and weight for complex antennas and RF components. This talk will discuss a number of antenna structures that have been designed to take advantage of additive manufacturing to achieve significant reduction in size, weight, and part count.

Why your contribution is relevant for the event?

This contribution showcases advances in the industry for antennas and RF components, and includes measured results for antennas designed from X-band through Q-band.
