The emerging technology of 3D printing is expanding into
the electronics industry and is replacing traditional
fabrication methods for a variety of products with
significantly lower costs and labour. In this study,
microstrip resonator coils are 3D-printed with built-in
matching and tuning capacitors using various dielectric
and conductive materials. Our 3D printed partially
air-filled MTL resonators show comparable performance to
standard hand-made foam-core resonators using copper
conductors and discrete capacitors.
