Analysis of Bulk Dielectric Constant of Latticed Materials

Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM), otherwise known as 3D printing, is a growing research area for RF (radio frequency) components due to its low cost, lightweight, rapid manufacturing characteristics and its ability to easily fabricate complex designs. Dielectric printing is one area that has gathered increased interest in recent years for RF applications. With AM, dielectrics can easily be fabricated in complex and conformal shapes or bulk material properties can be modified by controlling the volume fill of the print. Lattice structures can be utilized to alter the ratio of air vs material to modify the bulk material properties. This report presents an analysis on material latticing and its effect of bulk dielectric properties to aid in AM dielectric design.
