IMPROVED MICROWAVE COMPONENTS

摘要

A microwave component with an at least partially enclosed cavity, such as a microwave filter, a waveguide or a horn antenna, includes an outer support structure and an electric layer which is made of pulse-plated silver and which is arranged on the inside of the support structure and faces the cavity. The microwave component further includes a first inner protective layer of chemically precipitated gold, the protective layer being arranged on the electric layer and facing the cavity.
