摘要
This paper describes the design and fabrication of a fully 3D printed dish antenna with integrated feeding. As opposed to traditional dish antennas where the dish, feeding antenna, and cables are separate components, a fully 3D printed dish antenna incorporates all these elements in one integrated structure. The designed 3D printed dish antenna operates at 28 GHz with 28.5 dBi of gain and features a integrated horn antenna feed, which is built directly onto the surface of the dish, and an integrated waveguide connector for connections for external RF connections. The introduction of 3D printable dish antenna structures with integrated feeding and connectors, grants users an extremely low cost and simple to manufacture antenna for applications which requires high gain and ease of deployment.
