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 ...

In fall 2024, NASA developed and tested a 3D-printed antenna to demonstrate a low-cost capability to communicate science data to Earth. The antenna, tested in flight using an atmospheric weather ...

Conductive filament exists, but it takes more than that to 3D print something like a circuit board. The main issue is that traces made from conductive filament are basically resistors; they don’t act ...

We would all like to 3D print in metal, but for now, the equipment to do that is out of reach for most of us. Instead of dealing with powder printers or metal-bearing polymers, [Robert] has a simple ...

A chip-sized processor and 3D-printed antenna array developed by WSU researchers could someday lead to flexible and wearable wireless systems and improved electronic communications in a wide variety ...

Radar systems perform critical functions for the Navy, and remain an important part of maritime navigation and national defense. Parts for antennas and arrays may unexpectedly break or wear out ...

Plating-equipment specialist Meco says it has developed a way to cut the cost of producing RFID antennas, and therefore RFID tags, that combines printing with plating. The company says that by using a ...
