Satellite antennas can be 3D-printed in space with the help of sunlight, using a new patented technique that promises to do away with clunky satellite parts that take up too much space in a rocket.

With an eye toward building space-qualified radio-frequency (RF) components for Earth observation and science instruments, the European Space Agency (ESA) has 3D printed a satellite antenna designed ...

Researchers built a chip-sized processor and 3D-printed copper antenna arrays that could enable flexible, wearable wireless systems for auto, aviation, and space. (Nanowerk News) Washington State ...

You don’t normally think of a 3D printer as a necessity for an antenna project. However, if you are interested in making a handy portable antenna, you might want to melt some plastic. [N2MXX] has an ...

Thanks to an innovative extension to 3D printing, researchers can create high-performance, low-weight “unbuildable” RF structures that combine dielectrics and patterned conductors. The benefits and ...

5G technologies and those that follow will rely on large antenna arrays, which are typically bulky and come only in very limited sizes. This would make the antennas difficult to transport and ...

Why this deformable antenna has advantages compared to a foldable origami antenna. How the team designed and fabricated this iris-patch antenna design using 3D printing. The performance they modeled ...

Prototype of a chip-scale RF signal processor with 3D-printed antenna arrays for antenna-in-structure or wearable wireless systems. PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State University-led researchers have ...
