Feasibility demonstration of 3D printing for a new efficient production method of mm-wave waveGUIDE antenna

Project description

A cost-effective method for air transport safety

Flight delays result in considerable losses for the air transportation industry. Since the problem is due mainly to low visibility, enhanced flight visibility systems are progressively being installed in civil aircraft to assist pilots to land under any visibility circumstances. The EU-funded 3DGUIDE project will bring together an interdisciplinary group of world-class experts in radio frequency and antennas to demonstrate a cost-effective production method for high-precision mm-wave waveguide antennas with additive manufacturing. This is a promising process for the production of antennas with complex 3D shapes that reduces assembly procedures and overall production costs.
