A Novel Approach To The Production Of Printed Patch Antennas
A Novel Approach to the Production of Printed Patch Antennas by Miroslav Popela, Jana Olivová, Zdenek Plliva, Leoš Petrzilka, Michaela Krchová, Zdenek Joska and Premysl Janu
Overview
This study explores the fabrication of a patch antenna using lights-out digital additive manufacturing (LDM), an advanced 3D printing technology primarily used for PCBs. Conductive and dielectric inks were employed to print the antenna, which was then evaluated against traditional antennas on Arlon 25N and FR4 substrates. The paper details the comparative analysis and performance results of the 3D LDM-printed antenna.
