Abstract :
One of main tasks within the antenna development program LISA is to optimize manufacturing technologies to be applied best to Ka-band multifeed arrays. NC-milling, Cu electroforming, direct laser sintering (DLMS) of aluminium and laser sintering of plastics are being developed/evaluated. Some interest also is put on CFRP technology. The paper presents an intermediate status with some first results.
