This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $254,214 awarded to Dynamac Microwave, Inc. on April 15, 2022 seeks to develop environmentally sustainable manufacturing technologies for radio frequency filter products under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084). Specifically, the awardee will demonstrate the feasibility of miniaturizing RF filter networks in air through simulation and prototype fabrication using a novel fractionalization algorithm. This aims to overcome size barriers and enable the development of miniature multilayer air filter structures. The awardee will produce single resonator circuit layer assemblies as building blocks for multilayer air filters and establish manufacturing methods for integrating multiple layers into multi-resonator prototype filters. The prototypes will demonstrate scalability, repeatability and reproducibility for mass production, and establish cost models. If successful, this innovation could reduce landfill, scrap metal and general metal consumption in RF filter manufacturing significantly.
