Abstract:  Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ denote the polynomial ring over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements. Suppose the characteristic of $\mathbb{F}_q$ is not $2$ or $3$. We prove that there exist infinitely many $N \in\mathbb{N}$ such that the set $\{ f \in\mathbb{F}_q[t] \colon\deg f < N \}$ contains a Sidon set which is an additive basis of order $3$.
Keywords:  Sidon set; additive basis; polynomial rings over finite fields
