TECHNIQUES FOR MICROWAVE COMPONENTS OF REDUCED WEIGHT.
Abstract
During the period of this report consideration was given principally to waveguide components in X-band which are inherently heavy and bulky. A substantial saving in weight can be accomplished if the relatively heavy waveguide walls and flanges which confine the microwave energy are replaced by thin metal surfaces which are supported mechanically by lightweight materials. Two methods for this support have been investigated. The results achieved from microwave resonators fabricated by these two means are presented in this technical memorandum. In addition there has been a study of foam-in-place techniques with polyurethane foam and the effects of loading the foam with high dielectric constant fillers. The results of this work are also reported in this memorandum. To fabricate the resonators mentioned above involves the development of molding techniques which are described in the text. The techniques evolved on this program permit the fabrication of structures with very close tolerances.
