Stretchable Antennas for Next Generation Communication Systems
Abstract
Due of its extensive applications in fields such as biomedical applications and wearable devices, the internet of things, and 5G applications, demand for flexible wireless communication systems is expanding. Flexible wireless communication necessitates stretchable antennas. Flexible electronic devices has many advantages like easy portability, light in weight and use of ecofriendly materials. The popularity of flexible electronic devices is due to these properties. The selection of flexible or stretchable antenna in wireless applications depends on range of frequency, transmission strength and surrounding conditions. There are several design enhancements, unique materials, and intriguing fabrication methods to be discovered. This paper gives insight view of need for flexible antennas, as well as flexible materials and fabrication substrate. The paper will focus on the inherent challenges and future potential of flexible antennas after a thorough discussion of the above-mentioned subjectsReferences (32)
