Innovative Materials and Fabrication Process to Develop New RF Components and Concepts

Abstract : Recent developments on materials for additive manufacturing and associated fabrication process offer new opportunities for the design of antennas and RF components. In this paper, different technologies used by our laboratory are presented and their application to different types of antennas and microwave components, especially filters, is shown. A brief overview of the advantages of such technologies for joint-design and original architectures is also presented.
