Surface roughness impact on the performance of the 3D metal printed waveguide coupler at millimeterwave band

This paper presents the impact of surface roughness on the performance of a three –dimensional (3D) metal printed waveguide coupler designed at 28 GHz. The surface roughness is a significant factor that may affect 3D printed structures and post processing may be needed. It may degrade the performanc...
