Characteristics of a Deformed Antenna Made of Flexible Printed Circuit

چکیده
In recent years, wireless communications, such as wireless LAN and Bluetooth, are widely spreading. As the antennas used in wireless communications are usually installed in small mobile devices, it is demanded that the volume to be small. To meet the miniaturization demand, we focussed our attention to flexible printed circuits (FPCs). FPCs have some attractive features such as thinness and flexibility. We designed here a PIFA available for IEEE802.11b/g and Bluetooth. The antenna is made of FPC and its radiation pattern does not vary much when the antenna is deformed. We measured the radiation pattern of the antenna when the antenna is successively curved and folded. We analyzed the antenna by using the moment method.

A compact printed fractal antipodal bow-tie antenna is designed and implemented to simultaneously cover the operations in the C, X, and Ku-bands. It is demonstrated that by addition of small fractal elements at the sides of hexagonal arms of the bow-tie, a wide operating frequency range of 3.3 to 19.1 GHz can be covered while antenna size is only 30×34×1.2 mm3. In order to match the antenna to ...
