An Ultra Thin Flexible Super Wideband Antenna Using Additively Manufactured Elastomer
In this paper, an ACS (asymmetric coplanar strip line) fed printed monopole antenna is proposed. The antenna is realized on the low cost FR4 substrate. An additively manufactured elastomer is integrated with the printed monopole, to enhance the flexibility of the antenna. The proposed antenna offers an impedance bandwidth of 126% with quasi omnidirectional patterns throughout the operating band. The proposed antenna is characterized for conformity; the performance metrics of the proposed antenna remain agnostic to bending.
