In the disclosed method for fabricating corrugated microwave components, a billet assembly is formed of electrically conductive plates sandwiched with chemical etching sensitive spacer material and clamped together. An inside surface is formed in the billet and a mandrel inserted. An outer contoured surface is then formed on the mandrel-billet assembly. The outer surface is then plated to a desired thickness. The mandrel is removed and the spacers chemically etched away leaving the finished component. With the disclosed method, microwave device fabrication for frequencies including 100 GHz and higher is possible. |
