Unit Cell Design for 3D-Printed Leaky-Wave Antennas
This paper presents a simulated analysis of three unit cells for 3D-printed Dielectric Image Line (DIL) Leaky-Wave Antennas (LWAs). These unit cells, which are to be printed with the filament Preperm ABS1000 with bulk relative permittivity of 10, were subjected to multi-line parametric analysis. Predicted radiation and aperture efficiency are then assessed. Finally, preliminary results of an experimental 3D-printed antenna are demonstrated using one of the discussed unit cell designs as a validation for such antenna design.
