Abstract
Waveguide components that have a high degree of performance accuracy over the temperature range of interest are provided. The components require no post-formation trimming steps, are light-weight, and dimensionally stable. In addition, a method for the manufacture of these millimeter wave components is provided.
Claims15
A waveguide, comprising:
- a component with a molded body and one or more internal features, the molded body and the one or more internal features being part of a monolithic construction and being constructed substantially from thermoset resin loaded with ceramic material to achieve a thermal expansion coefficient of less than 12 ppm/° C., the one or more internal features being coated with a conductive layer, and
- a lid having an inner conductive layer, the lid constructed to permit the attachment of the lid to the component, wherein the component and the lid are attached to each other to create at least one waveguide channel.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
