Manufacturing plan and DFMA-analysis of a UHF bandpass filter

Abstract

This bachelor thesis focuses on developing manufacturing plan and DFMA analysis to find an efficient way of manufacturing tunable UHF bandpass filter. From lean management perspective of view, this thesis considered not only manufacturability of each component of tunable UHF bandpass filter but also estimated budget and time costs of different material selection and manufacturing method. Standard of successful manufacture and assemble is also considered in this thesis. The research is carried out in this thesis through expert interview supported literature review, systematic material selection and utilization of SolidWorks modeling as well as DFM analysis report. The research methods are mainly based on theoretical analysis and software simulation. General, dimensional and geometrical tolerances are emphasized in this thesis because of their significant influence on the performance of tunable UHF bandpass filter. Future application of tunable UHF bandpass filter is also discussed in this thesis.
