This paper discusses the design, fabrication, and measurement techniques of low-loss slotted waveguides made using micro metal additive manufacturing. Straight waveguides in WR-3.4 and WR-2.2 bands were fabricated and tested, showing low insertion loss per unit length.
This paper reports the design, fabrication and measurement techniques for a set of low-loss slotted waveguides. The waveguides are fabricated based on a micro metal additive manufacturing technology. They were fabricated layer by layer in one piece without the need of post-fabrication assembly. As examples, straight waveguides in WR-3.4 (220-330 degrees GHz) and WR-2.2 (330-500 degrees GHz) bands were fabricated and tested. Measurement results show the insertion loss per unit length is 0.0615-0.122 degrees dB/mm and 0.116-0.281 degrees dB/mm, respectively.
