Comparizon of 3D printed Plastic and micromachined Teflon Lenses for WiGig modules

Abstract

In this paper, we compare the performance of micromachined Teflon and 3D printed Plastic lenses for WiGig modules. Both are based on extended hemispherical shapes. Reusing a HDI module with built-in antenna as a source, we demonstrate an antenna gain improvement of respectively 9 dB and 11 dB for the Plastic and the Teflon lenses. Full-wave simulations are verified by measurements.
