WP4 High-Power Technologies for Large Platforms

Lead Beneficiary: CAU
Duration: M1-M48

Objectives:

  • Developing new design techniques for filters, antennas, and other components in a space system, especially suitable for high-power applications at millimetre-wave frequency.
  • Exploiting the geometry flexibility offered by additive manufacturing techniques in the design of those systems and prove their behaviour in high-power scenarios.-
  • Synthesis and design of novel compact topologies for high-power waveguide filters and multiplexers.
  • Customizing ceramics specifically for high-power components.-
  • Developing topology optimisation also for maximizing the heat dissipation to optimize RF and thermal aspects with the same tool.
  • Fabricating prototypes and conduct high-power experimental characterizations.
