Q/V/W Feed Chain Components in Micro-Additive Manufacturing

This talk will highlight the advantages of additive manufacturing for the development of compact feed chains operating in the mm-wave regime. Both design and experimental aspects will be covered, offering insights into the guidelines necessary to achieve high performance across the Q, V, and W bands. The integrated feed chains combine polarizers, filters, diplexers, and horns. These results stem from a collaborative effort between CSEM, SWISSto12, and IETR, carried out within a project funded by the European Space Agency.
