摘要：

This comprehensive review explores advancements in the design, fabrication and performance evaluation of three-dimensional (3D) printed antennas, across different frequency ranges. The review highlights the use of diverse printing methods, materials and structures, to achieve specific antenna characteristics and designs, such as wide bandwidth, high gain, circular polarization, and beamforming capabilities. Simulation and measurement results are compared to assess antenna performance, considering parameters such as impedance bandwidth, radiation patterns, gain, and efficiency. The findings showcase the significant potential of 3D printing in the development of antennas for wireless communications, terahertz fr equencies, transmitarray, and multi-beam systems. Various printing techniques are employed to fabricate antennas with complex geometries and optimized performance. Rigorous measurements validate simulation results, addressing challenges related to printing resolution and material selection. This review emphasizes the contributions of 3D printing in antenna engineering, offering customization capabilities, rapid 3D, and improved performance.
