Abstract

The invention provides a precise electroforming method for making the subtle structure of a high frequency corrugation feed horn. The feed horn is obtained in the following way: an electroforming mandrel of the feed horn is made according to the structure form of the inner chamber of the corrugation feed horn; after the treatment that the surface of the mandrel is additionally coated with an anti-corrosion layer, with the combined action of ways of pictographic anode, cathode rotation, plating solution jet flow, bidirectional pulse, physical polishing and grinding, and so on, the mandrel is precisely electroformed with copper so that a feed horn electroformed piece is obtained; the demoulding operation of the electroformed piece and the mandrel is performed so that a feed horn is obtained. With the precise electroforming method of the invention, the problem that the inner corrugations, with a high depth-to-width ratio, of a high frequency corrugation feed horn are difficult to process is solved. With the precise electroforming technology, a high frequency corrugation feed horn with low surface roughness and without a chamber in the annual teeth can be obtained. The precise electroforming method greatly enhances the structure strength of a feed horn manufactured with the electroforming technology. At the same time, the low surface roughness of the horn surface effectively enhances the transmission reliability of microwave signals.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of precision and ultra-precision device processing, in particular to a precision electroforming method for making a microstructure of a high-frequency corrugated feed horn. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of space technology, the frequency band of meteorological microwave imaging detection instruments has expanded from visible light and infrared to microwave. Whether it is a military meteorological satellite that obtains complex environmental information on the future battlefield in modern information warfare, or a civil meteorological satellite that conducts all-weather and all-weather remote sensing observations of the earth's atmosphere from space outside the atmosphere, in order to accurately obtain various detection All elements need to be equipped with a high-performance microwave imaging detector. The antenna feed system of high-performance microwave imaging detectors often u...
