چکیده
A plastic, 95-GHz rectangular waveguide with an integrated plastic flange has been successfully demonstrated using micro hot embossing and electroplating technologies. Two prototype devices with integrated flanges on both ends have been tested using an Agilent PNA 5250 network analyzer. The prototype with non-metallized flange shows return loss s11 and insertion loss s21 values of −21.5 and −1.09 dB at 108 GHz, r r d m b ©

Micromachined 95 GHz waveguide-fed plastic horn antennas
Waveguide-fed plastic horn antennas have been demonstrated for W-band applications using a versatile and cost-effective micro hot embossing process. The three-dimensional (3D) polymer structure with internally coated conductor is composed of a pyramidal horn, an E-plane waveguide bend, two resonant cavities for impedance matching and a connecting rectangular waveguide. Measurement results show ...
متن کاملMicro Plastic Part Fabrication Using Custom Made Vertical Injection Molding Machine
This study focuses on fabrication of a micro plastic part using custom made vertical injection molding machine. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) and micro mechanical machining was used to fabricate micro shape cavity on aluminum mold. The mold was embedded with Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) window to observe the behavior of plastic melt flow during injection. The custom made vertical injec...

The existing waveguide interface standards are generally found to be unsatisfactory above 110 GHz. An improved interface is proposed which is backward-compatible with the MIL-DTL-3922/67C standard and most of its higher-frequency variants. As there are currently no standard waveguide bands above 325 GHz, an extended set of bands is recommended for operation to 1100 GHz. Index Terms — Waveguides...
متن کاملSimulation and modeling of macro and micro components produced by powder injection molding: A review
During the recent years powder processing technologies have gained much attention due to the less energy consumption and recyclable powders. Manufacturing of complicated parts by the conventional powder metallurgy (PM) method is hard due to the uniaxial pressure, which leads to the low design flexibility. In order to prevail these constraints, powder injection molding (PIM) process, which inclu...
متن کاملAcoustic Emission Crack Detection at Injection Molding Process
This paper presents the experimental results regarding acoustic emission signals measured during the injection molding of those standard test specimens commonly used for examining the shrinkage behaviour of various thermoplastic materials. In daily industrial production of different plastic products we often have to deal with various errors that practically occur on the mold primarily as a resu...
