| Abstract: | A flexible transparent film uwb antenna for
curved surfaces has been designed and developed for wireless communications. The antenna has demonstrated good performance over the entire UWB bandwidth. It can be
mounted on any conformal shape by virtue of the film properties of both the antenna as well as the substrate. The radiator and ground are both designed using AgHT-8 while
the substrate is of a polymer. The antenna is shown to be able to maintain its performance below the 10dB level throughout
the entire UWB bandwidth of 7.5GHz i.e from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz as it is flexed through various radius of curvature thus providing an insight into how to overcome performance
deterioration in wearable antennas. |
