摘要：
The fabrication of an electrically small 916 MHz F-Inverted Compact Antenna (FICA) suitable for use in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications is reported. The design is constructed using a consumer quality 3D desktop printer to produce a dielectric former onto which a wire helical element is wound. The use of a printed former eliminates several variances that arise when the antenna is entirely constructed by hand, leading to a more repeatable and robust fabrication approach.
