N2 - This paper presents two of the first fully 3D-printed antennas based on 100% biodegradable and renewable host substrates for the next generation of wireless communication systems. To understand the electromagnetic properties of the biodegradable materials, their complex permittivities are mea-sured across an ultra-wide frequency range from 200 MHz to 20 GHz, using a Keysight 85070E Performance Probe. To verify the concept, dipole antennas with embedded conductive parts are designed and fabricated using the characterized materials through 3D printing technology. The host substrate of the antennas are made of the BioFila silk and linen filaments. The conductive parts of the antennas are fabricated using 3D-printed graphene. The reflection coefficient and radiation patterns of the fabricated antennas are measured, and the results are presented.
