This new process is validated by means of a prototype antenna consisting on a modified tri-band cactus monopole that is manufactured and measured, exhibiting results in agreement with standard and alternative additive manufacturing techniques reported in the literature.Engineering, Electrical & ElectronicEngineeringshaped monopole antennatext::journal::journal article::research article
