N2 - This paper reports the far-filed characteristics of a class of 3D-printed dipole antenna fabricated using wood-based polylactic acid (PLA). The electromagnetic properties (dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor) of the wood-based PLA are measured from 200 MHz to 20 GHz, using a Keysight 85070E Performance dielectric Probe, and its loss tangents values (\texttan\ \delta) are calculated accordingly. The conductive parts of the antenna are fabricated using silver nanoparticle ink. The antenna is fabricated using a desktop 3D printer. The reflection coefficient and radiation patterns of the fabricated antenna are measured and the results are presented and compared with the simulation.
