Claim 0:
1. A method for fabricating functionally-graded structures by continuous ceramic fibers, comprising the following steps of:
braiding the continuous ceramic fibers directly on a support surface in a specific pattern, wherein a winding angle, a direction, a density/inter-fiber aperture and a count/thickness for each layer of layers are altered for other layers of a multi-layer design to fulfill desired mechanical, thermal and electrical requirements,
wrapping the continuous ceramic fibers at consecutive layers in an angular orientation between 15°-135° for optimizing a structural integrity and an RF performance,
removing a structure from the support surface, and
applying a slurry infiltration over the structure to fill inter-fiber gaps.
