Abstract

A WLAN antenna shaped around a 3D printed bracelet and tested on another printed phantom is proposed. The antenna is a planar dipole with three resonant elements at each end. Inexpensive fuse filament fabrication (FFF) of polylactic acid plastic (PLA) material has been employed for the manufacturing of the bracelet, and the phantom. The phantom was fabricated as a hollow structure which was filled with a solution consisting of water, salt and sugar. The aim is to demonstrate the potential of personal manufacturing of wearable antenna, and body phantoms for radio frequency testing. The antenna successfully operates at the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands on and off the body.
