A KA-Band Antenna for signal reception. I wrote trade-off studies on the behalf of X4i Corporation to help the client decide between manufacturing methods, material options, and drive mechanisms.
The trade-off study was a written document compiling research into mechanical mechanisms. It ranked options based on efficiency, maintenance, cost, and use of space.
The client was able to take the findings of the trade-off study and dictate the direction the rest of the project would take, producing a functional device to take to the market.
