Description
Abstract:
Power couplers provide the vacuum and thermal interface between the superconducting cavity and the room temperature waveguide components, and transmit microwave power. The production of Power Couplers require a unique set of manufacturing processes. Procurement costs can vary widely for a number of reasons. This paper will show the critical technologies required and the breakdown of major components of cost.
Provocative topic:
Four methods to procure couplers for half the price will be discussed, along with recommendations for cost savings from a manufacturers perspective.
