研制了一种新型、高效、灵活、廉价的1.57 GHz微带贴片天线，该天线基于简单的喷墨打印机，采用银纳米粒子墨水，提高了天线的性能。天线是印刷在一种柔性基板“光泽纸”，以提供轻和灵活的优势，为不同的应用。通过喷墨印刷与合成后退火和多层印刷研究了银纳米粒子墨水的性能。电导率已得到改善，在高达180摄氏度的温度下具有高达2 Ω/cm的有前途的值。使用SEM分析了电路的表面形态，纳米颗粒的平均直径约为100 nm，表面分布均匀，印刷层的平均厚度约为230微米。此外，一个简单的设计共面波导（CPW）的Z形天线已被认为是一个应用程序的制造印刷天线使用研究的银纳米粒子油墨通过一个廉价的打印机。
A new, efficient, flexible, and cheap antenna designed at 1.57 GHz microstrip patch antenna based on simple inkjet printer with improved performance using silver nanoparticles ink is developed. The antenna is printed on a kind of flexible substrate "glossy paper," to offer the advantage of light and flexibility for different applications. The performance of silver nanoparticles ink has been studied through inkjet printing versus postsynthesis annealing and multilayer printing. The conductivity has been improved to have promising values up to 2 Omega/cm at temperatures up to 180 degrees C. The surface morphology of the circuits has been analyzed using SEM with mean diameter of the nanoparticles around 100 nm, uniform surface distribution, and mean thickness of the printed layer around 230 microns. Also, a simple design of a coplanar waveguide (CPW) monopole Z-shaped antenna has been considered as an application of fabricated printed antenna using the studied silver nanoparticles ink through a cheap printer.
