摘要: We present the development of a Ku-band (10-16 GHz) corrugated conical horn antenna using 3-D print technology or stereolithography. The is printed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), thermoplastic, and then coated with conductive aerosol paint. designed achieves measured peak gain 19.6 dBi at 16 GHz 1.92:1 VSWR from 11 to 18 GHz. It shown that printing capable producing sufficient feature sizes make operation in microwave/millimeter-wave (MMW) bands possible.
