Abstract :In this study, dual-band frequency selective surface insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(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 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(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.
