Low‐Profile, High‐Gain GRIN RF Lenses via Multi‐Material Vat Photopolymerization
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We investigate the opportunity of leveraging multi‐material vat photopolymerization printing to manufacture intricate lenses exhibiting permittivity gradients that can increase signal gain in transmitted radiofrequency signals in the X‐ and Ku‐bands. Lenses produced with more distinct low‐loss materials (up to 5) can deliver an 18 dB signal gain with a
