Tiivistelmä
This thesis presents a manufacturability analysis and manufacturing plan for an 8-12 GHz coupling loop used in microwave (MW) devices. As part of a broader research project at Lappeenranta–Lahti University of Technology (LUT), the study aims to optimize the production process for enhanced geometric accuracy and environmental sustainability.
Using a triangulated methodology, the research combines a literature review, expert interviews, SolidWorks DFMA analysis, and systematic material selection through value analysis. The analysis identifies C11000 Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP) Copper as the most suitable material due to its excellent electrical conductivity and manufacturability. Key manufacturing steps include laser cutting for precision and incremental sheet metal bending for accuracy.
