nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - New innovations are adding intelligence to the established and exhaustive usedtechnology. In this project a flexible printed dipole antenna is attempted. Flexibility in theantenna itself makes it immune to hostile conditions also adds reliability and repeatabilityin its performance. The objective is to make an antenna that can be deformed andsnapped back to its original shape without it being damaged. It significantly expandsstretchable electronics applications both in the communications and biomedical sectors.Flame Resistant class 4(FR4) substrate which is quite popularly used formicrostrip antenna had to be replaced with a flexible substrate. Material used for flexibleantenna Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) is of high value and has dielectric constant 2.3gives satisfactory results. It is replaced by an economical substrate named polymidehaving dielectric constant 4.3 which is pretty similar to FR 4.For making a Microstrip antenna flexible thickness of the substrate needs to bereduced which drastically affects the results.

Riassunto

This work advances antenna design by integrating intelligent flexibility. Rather than relying on traditional FR4 substrates, it introduces a cost-effective polyamide alternative, closely matching FR4's dielectric properties, to create a resilient, self-correcting dipole antenna. This nuanced approach overcomes the inherent performance challenges of substrate thinning, ensuring consistent operation even under stress. The switch from PDMS to polyamide, coupled with clever design, quietly expands the potential of stretchable electronics in critical fields like communication and biomedicine.
