Manufacturing plan and DFMA-analysis of a 10 GHz conical horn antenna

Abstract

The objective of this study is to optimize the design and manufacturing process of a 10 GHz conical horn antenna with the aim of improving its performance and reducing costs. By integrating design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) principles, expert advice, and a comprehensive literature review, this study proposes a series of integrated improvement measures. The research method includes selecting suitable production materials and manufacturing processes, and simplifying the design according to DFMA principles to improve production efficiency. In addition, expert interviews and literature reviews are used to guide material selection and design improvements. The research results show that the improved antenna at 10 GHz exhibits excellent radiation performance and bandwidth characteristics, fully meeting market demand. At the same time, the optimized production process significantly reduces costs and improves manufacturing efficiency. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the adoption of DFMA principles and fine surface treatment processes is crucial for enhancing antenna performance, and demonstrates the indispensable role of systematic improvement strategies in antenna design and manufacturing. These findings are of great significance for both academic research and practical application fields and provide valuable references and guidance for the design and manufacture of future high-frequency communication antennas.
