Re: an interesting mechanical engineering problem

Dr. Resonance,
May I suggest a solution from my radar industry. I would use
waveguide material. It can be bent in the radii you need and every
joint could be a choke connector. The choke ends are surfaced for
perfect fit, electrically and for holding pressure. Mechanically
strong, and made to be disassembled and reassembled. C-band has an
inside dimension of 1.872 x 0.872 inches and is typically made from
brass. There are all kinds of flex and angle sections available, too
for end connections and such. I mostly deal with the C-band and
think it would handle your power as the CW rating is 1.4 to 2.0
Mwatts. I have a table for other sizes if you think you would need
larger size. Let me know.
