摘要

A waveguide filter (43) comprising a series of resonant cavities (45) separated by walls (47) each formed with an iris opening (49) is assembled from two complementary box-like bodies (25) each having an open side (31) and internal partitions forming portions of the walls (47) between the cavities. Each box-like body is manufactured by impact extrusion using an open-topped box-like die (1) in which a slug of material (5) is placed, and a punch (7) which has smaller dimensions than the die and slots (11) for forming the respective partitions. The punch is driven into the die with a force such that the material of the slug is displaced into the slots in the punch and into the space between the punch and the die.
