This article presents the designs of ultrawideband microwave flat #gradient #index (#GRIN) #lenses, which realizes over a 108% fractional bandwidth (12-40 GHz). The frequency-independent ray optics method is employed to determine the radially varying permittivity profile of the lenses. The challenge of realizing such a radially varying profile and the limitations in dielectric material choices are overcome by two additive-manufacturing-aided approaches: 1) partially infilled dielectrics with a varied periodicity, which ensures the lens performance at the higher end of the frequency range and 2) #artificially #engineered #dielectrics (#AED) with subwavelength-scale metallic inclusions, which enables-high permittivity dielectrics and leads to benefits of thickness and mass reduction for the GRIN lenses. ---- Shiyu Zhang, Ravi Kumar ARYA ,Prof. Will Whittow, Darren Cadman, Raj Mittra, J.

https://lnkd.in/ekTpVw2D #162 Electron Beam Melting (EBM) Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is an additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technology that is used to create complex metal parts and components. It is a type of powder bed fusion process, similar to selective laser melting (SLM) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), but it uses an electron beam instead of a laser to melt and fuse metal powder together layer by layer. EBM is particularly well-suited for producing high-quality, dense, and fully functional metal parts, making it a popular choice in industries like aerospace, healthcare, and automotive. Here's how the Electron Beam Melting process typically works: Powder Preparation: The process begins with a bed of metal powder, which is typically titanium, titanium alloys, or other high-temperature materials. The powder is spread evenly across the build platform. Electron Beam Control: EBM machines use an electron gun to generate a highly focused and precise electron beam. The electron beam is directed and controlled using electromagnetic coils and deflection systems. Layer by Layer Deposition: The electron beam is focused on a specific area of the metal powder bed, selectively melting the powder particles. The electron beam moves in a pattern that corresponds to the cross-section of the part being produced. This process is repeated for each layer of the part, with the build platform gradually moving downward as new layers are added. Solidification: As the electron beam melts the powder, it rapidly solidifies, fusing the particles together. This produces a solid, fully dense metal layer. The process continues, adding one layer on top of another until the entire part is built. Heat Control: EBM machines typically operate in a vacuum or low-pressure environment to prevent contamination and control the heat generated during the melting process. This helps to achieve a uniform and consistent build. Post-Processing: Once the part is fully printed, it may require post-processing steps such as heat treatment, machining, and surface finishing to meet specific design requirements and tolerances. Advantages of Electron Beam Melting (EBM) include: High Material Density: EBM produces parts with a high degree of material density, making them suitable for load-bearing applications. www.antharas.co.uk/ companies website or top book distributors! #BusinessStrategy #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #Management #Marketing #Finance #Startups #Innovation #Sales #SmallBusiness #CorporateCulture #Productivity #SelfDevelopment #SuccessStories #PersonalBranding #Networking #Negotiation #BusinessEthics #TimeManagement #GrowthStrategies #MarketAnalysis #BusinessPlanning #FinancialManagement #HumanResources #CustomerExperience #DigitalTransformation #Ecommerce #SocialMediaMarketing #BusinessCommunication #ChangeManagement
