Characterization of PLA-based quad-ridged horn antenna is presented in this paper to observe the effect of imperfect fabrication to the horn antenna performance. The research is carried out by investigating the antenna parameter in terms of reflection coefficient and antenna gain of QRHA with an imperfect fabrication. The investigation is performed by using 3D simulation software. The result shows that an air gap and surface roughness influence the antenna bandwidth and impure conductivity decrease the antenna gain.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]3D simulations,Air-gaps,Antenna bandwidth,Antenna gains,Antenna parameters,Antenna performance,Quad-ridged horn antennas[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Bandwidth,Gain,PLA-based,Quad-ridged horn antenna[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This research activity was supported by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education Republic of Indonesia (Kemenristekdikti), under the SAINTEK 2018 project.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/TENCON50793.2020.9293718[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
