Additive Manufacturing of a Dual Band, Hybrid Substrate, and Dual Polarization Antenna
Keywords:
additive manufacturing, 3D printing, dual-band antenna, dual polarization, hybrid dielectricAbstract
We describe the additive manufacturing results pertaining to a multi-function antenna aperture. The antenna consists of customized high dielectric and low loss feedstocks as the enabling technology. The 3D printed prototype shows agreement with simulation while providing excellent performance.
