- Abstract
A three-dimensional printing technology that can be applied to stereo antennas fabrication is presented. The main steps of the fabrication include printing antenna model by dual materials fused deposition modelling and the following selective chemical plating. As a demonstration of this powerful technology, a typical stereo antenna, the Yagi-Uda antenna, is designed and fabricated. Measured results show the printed antenna has good performances and agree well with simulated results. The technology provides a simple, straightforward way for antenna fabrication, and is especially suitable for the fabrication of stereo structure antennas.
