DESIGN, SIMULATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF FLEXIBLE MICROSTRIP ANTENNA: Advancing Wireless Communication: A Comprehensive Journey from Classic Microstrip Antennas to Pioneering Flexible Design

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.
