摘要：
This paper presents the design and fabrication of low loss, weight, and cost prototypes in groove gap waveguide technology at Ka-band, manufactured with a metallized 3-D printing technique. A wide analysis of loss mechanisms and printing imperfections has been conducted, as well as the effect of temperature on structural deformations. Metallized 3-D printed and CNC machined prototypes have been compared and characterized with simulations and measurements at a band from 28 to 30 GHz. The average measured losses for metallized plastic prototypes are 1.4 dB/m.
