This paper deals with the design and experimental characterization of wideband discone antenna made of polylactid-acid (PLA) material using a three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. The proposed antenna is intended to have a wideband operating frequency of 700 MHz-6 GHz desirable for electromagnetic interference (EMI) sensors application. Here, the use of 3D printing technology is to realize the cone of the antenna, while the disc is implemented using a copper-sheet. To demonstrate feasibility of the proposed antenna, a conventional discone antenna made of all copper-sheets is also realized and experimentally characterized as comparison. From the characterization result, it shows that the proposed 3D-printed discone antenna has the-10 dB operating bandwidth range of more than 5.3 GHz from the frequency of 698 MHz. This measured operating bandwidth showed obviously wideband characteristics and was wider than the one of conventional discone antenna. © 2022 IEEE.
