  • Abstract
    A 3D printed antenna design technique is presented to be used for electromagnetic interference source finding on the MeerKAT site. The antennas are built with a polylactic acid plastic and are coated with conductive paint. Simulation and measurements are correlated for our conical based antennas. An extruded bi-conical configuration is promising for bandwidth extension to low frequency range.
