- This paper pioneers a new use of additive manufacturing for fabricating antennas across the complete 220-320GHz frequency range. It delivers ease of fabrication, manufacturing speed, and cost-effectiveness, without compromising on antenna performance. It led to research funding (£125k) from the Ministry of Defence to investigate and develop low-cost integrated high-frequency seekers for short and medium-range missiles and small weapons guidance, and collaboration with Thales, as the main partner on the project. It also enabled the establishment of a free-space terahertz measurement system (10.1109/ACCESS.2019.2929697).
