Ku-band sidearm orthomode transducer manufactured by additive layer manufacturing
2016
This paper investigates the use of additive layer manufacturing (ALM) for waveguide components based on two Ku-band sidearm orthomode transducers (OMT). The advantages and disadvantages of the ALM manufacturing regarding RF waveguide components are discussed and measurement results are compared to those of an equal OMT manufactured by conventional techniques. The paper concludes with an outlook to the capability of advanced manufacturing techniques for RF space applications as well as ongoing development activities.
