“…The antenna showed impedance bandwidth of 990 MHz (1.94–2.93 GHz) with a peak gain of −7.2 dB at 2.45 GHz. A bow-tie antenna with a CPW feed structure was fabricated using a desktop 3-D printer [ 113 ]. Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) filaments were used as the dielectric and conductive parts of the antenna, respectively, which showed wide bandwidth, flexible structure, lightweight, and small size.…”

The field of flexible antennas is witnessing an exponential growth due to the demand for wearable devices, Internet of Things (IoT) framework, point of care devices, personalized medicine platform, 5G technology, wireless sensor networks, and communication devices with a smaller form factor to name a few. The choice of non-rigid antennas is application specific and depends on the type of substrate, materials used, processing techniques, antenna performance, and the surrounding environment. There are numerous design innovations, new materials and material properties, intriguing fabrication methods, and niche applications. This review article focuses on the need for flexible antennas, materials, and processes used for fabricating the antennas, various material properties influencing antenna performance, and specific biomedical applications accompanied by the design considerations. After a comprehensive treatment of the above-mentioned topics, the article will focus on inherent challenges and future prospects of flexible antennas. Finally, an insight into the application of flexible antenna on future wireless solutions is discussed.

A transparent flexible co‐planar waveguide fed patch antenna using polyethylene terephthalate substrate is presented. The wideband high gain antenna having an overall dimension of 0.48λ × 0.64λ at the center frequency of 4.28 GHz is fabricated using a transparent sheet made up of Silver Tin Oxide (AgHT‐8). The performance of the proposed antenna is compared with four other nontransparent nonflexible and semitransparent flexible antennas. For the engineered design, patch geometry and feeding mechanism are kept constant whereas the substrate and patch materials are varied. Simulations are carried out using finite element method‐based full wave high‐frequency structure simulator after which the antennas are fabricated and tested. The proposed flexible transparent antenna has bandwidth in order of 40%, ranging from 3.89 to 5.9 GHz, with a notable gain over 3 dBi and efficiency greater than 80% for the entire frequency band. The bending conditions are also tested for the flexible transparent antenna which showed decent performance for sub‐6 GHz 5G and WLAN applications.

In this paper, a compact design of transparent rectangular microstrip antenna with a slotted ground plane has been designed and evaluated to support Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The proposed antenna consists of a single element using transparent conductive film AgHT-4 layered on a plain glass substrate, fed by a single 50 Ω SMA port. The antenna is working on 5.9 GHz based on IEEE 802.11p for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE) Standard. The design concept is to have arc shape slot out of the ground plane of a microstrip patch antenna to enable wideband frequency. The proposed antenna provides ultra wide impedance bandwidth around 750 MHz (5.48-6.23 GHz) at a center frequency of 5.9 GHz. The proposed transparent antenna has a directivity gain of 6.266 dBi.
