Description
For telecommunication purpose, new wireless technologies are constantly investigated. One particularly interesting field to explore is about transmissions in mm-wave bands. High performance and cost-effective antennas are strongly needed: fast and low-cost prototyping solutions available for volume production are necessary to establish a real breakthrough. Also, the need is strong for a manufacturing technology able to handle complicated 3D shapes. This presentation demonstrates how 3D printing technology is about to become a mature solution to fabricate cost effective and innovative antennas in V/E, F and G bands. Especially, we present a 3D-printed plastic horn at 60 GHz and 240 GHz and several 3D-printed V/E and F bands plastic lenses with measured promising performance.
