This paper discusses on the potential application of the selective laser melting technology to the integration of microwave waveguide components in single monolithic parts. Three study cases working in Ku, K, or Ka bands are reported. For each study case, the correlation between the predicted and measured RF performance is significant. Benefits in terms of minimization of mass, envelope, interfaces and parts count are identified.

Abstract

This paper discusses on the potential application of the selective laser melting technology to the integration of microwave waveguide components in single monolithic parts. Three study cases working in Ku, K, or Ka bands are reported. For each study case, the correlation between the predicted and measured RF performance is significant. Benefits in terms of minimization of mass, envelope, interfaces and parts count are identified.
