Conformal antennas printed on thin flexible sub-strates typically use copper conductors for
the radiating portion of the designs. This paper presents an alternative to using copper …

Copper is typically used for the conductor in most antenna designs and flexible materials
can be useful to make a conformal antenna. Here, a CPW-fed conformal monopole antenna …

Two key components, among several, in the design of a conformal antenna are the planar
conductors and the flexible substrates. In this paper, a new approach of using graphene …

The design tradeoffs between three spherically conformal electric monopoles-the spherical
helix (SH), spherical meanderline (SM), and a hybrid design-are explored through both …

Recently, micro base station antennas have begun to play a more important role in 5G
wireless communication, with the rapid development of modern smart medical care, the …

Flexible electronic devices are widely used in the Internet of Things, smart home and
wearable devices, especially in carriers with irregular curved surfaces. Light weight, flexible …

In this paper, the wave propagation of a graphene based conductor (GBC) transmission line
(TL) and its comparison with a copper TL on a conformal surface is presented. An …

Graphene based antennas have attracted wide attention due to their low cost, high stability
and well flexibility. However, the manufacturing process uses graphene based films to …

In this paper, a unique process for fabricating microstrip patch antennas with flexible
graphene-based conductors is presented. In particular, this manufacturing process uses a …

Antennas in wearable electronic devices face a challenge of being flexible and conformal. In
this paper, flexible patch antennas made of graphene-based film (GF) are proposed for 2.45 …
