Abstract

Antennas are among the fundamental components in wireless communication systems. Additive manufacturing allows antennas to go beyond the limitations of traditional production techniques, enabling the easy creation of complex and specialized antenna structures. In this study, a type of Double-Ridged Horn Antenna design and manufacturing technique using additive manufacturing is proposed. After designing the antenna for microwave frequencies, it was fabricated using PLA material with 3D printers and then coated with aluminum foil. The metal structure was connected with a connector to enable the antenna's operation. The proposed Double-Ridged Horn Antenna operates at two separate resonances between 2.38-2.85 GHz and 4.80-5 GHz frequencies. The maximum antenna gain at 2.65 GHz and 4.9 GHz is 1.7 and 1.9 dB, respectively. The half-power beamwidth (HPBW) for these two resonances is 45°. The suggested horn antenna can be used for applications in the 2.45 ISM band and indoor 5G applications below 5 GHz.

Özet

Antenler, kablosuz haberleşme sistemlerinde en temel bileşenlerden biri olarak yer alırlar. Eklemeli imalat ile üretilen antenler günümüzde geleneksel üretim tekniklerinin sınırlarını aşarak karmaşık ve özel anten yapılarının kolayca oluşturulabilmesini sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada eklemeli imalat ile bir çeşit Çift Sırtlı Horn Anten tasarımı ve üretim tekniği önerilmiştir. Anten mikrodalga frekanslarda tasarlandıktan sonra 3 boyutlu yazıcılar kullanarak PLA malzeme ile gerçekleştirilmiş ardından alüminyum folyo kaplanmıştır. Metal yapısı bir konnektörle bağlanarak antenin çalışması sağlanmıştır. Önerilen Çift Sırtlı Horn Anten 2,38-2,85 GHz ile 4,80-5 GHz frekansları arasında iki ayrı rezonansta çalışmaktadır. 2,65 GHz ve 4,9 GHz’deki maksimum anten kazancı sırasıyla 1,7 ve 1,9 dB olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Bu iki rezonans için yarı güç ışıma genişliği (HPBW) 45°’dir. Önerilen horn anten ile başlıca haberleşme bantları olan 2,45 ISM bandı uygulamaları ile 5 GHz altındaki 5G iç mekan (indoor) uygulamaları yapılabilir.
