Abstract

In this article we present a ring Dielectric Resonator Antenna (DRA) fabricated on three-dimensional (3D) printed Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) filament. The 3D printer offers antenna easy to fabricate and the possibility to design new antennas shapes more complex. The simulation performed using CST software 2020 shows that the proposed ring DRA has two resonance frequencies 23.5 GHz and 26.4 GHz with an obtained great gain 9.5 dB and 10.5 dB, respectively. A wideband about 42.4% was measured.
