The research provided in this thesis focuses on the development of the novel
additively manufactured antennas using the additive 3-D and material inkjet printing
fabrication as well as the conventional subtractive manufacturing by using milling
machine for the compact Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable applications. The initial
part of the work focuses on the different ways of fabrication of the additively
manufactured antenna that includes Finite Deposition Method (FDM) and PolyJet 3-D
printing technique for the substrate material fabrication. And the material inkjet printing
for the conductive radiating antenna element fabrication. The document discusses the
unconventional issue of the surface roughness in the 3-D printed substrates materials. The
later part focuses on the designing and testing techniques for the compact electrically
small antennas (ESA) for the compact IoT applications.
