WT4 Millimeter Waveguide System: Waveguide Medium Manufacturing Process Research and Development

Waveguide Medium Manufacturing Process Research and Development By M. P. ELEFTHERION ( M a n u s c r i p t r e c e i v e d J u l y 15, 1 9 7 7 ) The Western Electric Engineering Research Center (ERC) conducted the research and development effort necessary to establish the waveguide medium manufacturing process technology. The Forsgate Laboratory staff was involved in product design, process research and development, facility development, setting up a pilot plant, and gaining valuable manufacturing experience. The development of a low-loss transmission medium was a key part in establishing the overall WT4 system capabilities.
