Abstract :In this study, dual-band frequency selective surface (FSS) structures are designed by using 3-D printing technology for antenna radome applications. Four different configurations are studied to find the best alternative for FSS substrate not only for electromagnetic (EM) responses but also for its mechanical properties suitable for radomes. To ease the manufacturing process, a conductive paint is also studied instead of copper microstrip lines. In addition, graphite is also used for the comparison. Different 3-D printed configurations, various thickness values and three different materials for conductive part are examined and compared to find the most efficient radome structure.Keywords : 3-D Printer, Additive Manufacturing, Radome, Conductive paint, Graphite, Antenna, dual-band, FSS.
