Abstract :In this study, the aim was to design a microstrip antenna operating in the ISM band using three-dimensional printer technology. The substrate material of the proposed antenna was produced using ABS filament with a 70% infill percentage. The dielectric constant of the produced substrate material was measured experimentally in the laboratory and the Reel-Imaginer graph of the material was extracted. According to the obtained dielectric constant value, the antenna was designed step by step in the simulation environment. Then, the antenna was produced and return loss (S11 parameters) were measured using spectrum analyzer. It was observed that the simulation and measurement results were consistent. The measurement results shows that the produced antenna operates at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. This study demonstrates the simplicity of antenna production with a low-cost production technique, 3D printing.
