Additive manufacturing technology provides high flexibility in designing custom enclosures for prototype devices such as nodes of distributed sensor networks. Although integration of components is desired from the perspective of sensor mobility, it might negatively affect the performance of radio-connectivity due to couplings between the antenna and system peripherals, as well as other unaccounted effects of the 3D printed enclosure. In this work, a design of a dual-band cellular antenna is considered. The structure is optimized to work on plastic substrates characterized by thicknesses ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm, respectively. The antenna features a –10 dB bandwidth within frequencies from 0.74 GHz to 1.05 GHz and 1.49 GHz to 1.92 GHz. Owing to a simple topology the structure can be implemented in the form of a copper-based sticker and attached on a 3D printed material (e.g., the enclosure of the device). The radiator has been compared against the state-of-the-art antennas in terms of bandwidth and gain.
