Abstract

A super-wideband (SWB) Spidron fractal cube antenna using 3D printing technology is proposed in this paper. To realize SWB characteristics, the self-complementary structure, composed of Spidron fractal configuration, is utilized. The tapered microstrip balun is used for mode transforming and wideband impedance matching. To evaluate the performance of the antenna, the proposed antenna is fabricated and measured. The 3D frame of the proposed antenna is made by the 3D printer and the conductor part of the antenna is realized by the copper tape. The measured -10 dB reflection ratio bandwidth is 34.9:1 (0.44-15.38 GHz). The measured radiation patterns are nearly omnidirectional at all operating frequency bands.
