IWTh2: Precision at the Front-End: The Journey from Design to Manufacturing of Cutting-Edge AI-Optimized High Power RF Filters & Consolidated RF Waveguide Components

Presentation Abstract
This workshop shed light on end-to-end process that transforms advanced electromagnetic designs into manufacturable, reliable hardware for demanding applications such as satellite payloads, radar systems, and next-generation communication networks. Beginning with rigorous electromagnetic simulation and optimization, design phase integrates thermal, mechanical, and additionally Multipactor analyses to ensure high power handling and minimal insertion loss. Speakers share unique design and engineering challenges as well as uncover recent innovations in achieving exceptionally tight tolerances, thermal stability, and design robustness across complete lifecycle of consolidated RF waveguide components—from initial electromagnetic design through precision machining, surface finishing, and final qualification.
