Chen, S.Fumeaux, C.Chivers, B.Shepherd, R.2017-09-252017-09-252016AP-S International Symposium (Digest) (IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society), 2016, pp.1317-131897815090288631522-3965http://hdl.handle.net/2440/108025A flexible 5.8-GHz microstrip-fed slot antenna realized in thin films of conductive polymer PEDOT:PSS is presented. As a result of the highly conductive and flexible polymeric film utilization, the antenna has a high efficiency of 82% and fully reversible conformability. A PEDOT and a reference copper antenna prototypes have been fabricated and experimentally characterized. The good agreement between simulations and measurements suggests that conductive polymers are a promising class of non-metallic conducting materials for antenna engineering, particularly for conformal designs.en© 2016 IEEEAntenna measurements, dipole antennas, microstrip antennas, antenna radiation patterns, microstripA 5.8-GHz flexible microstrip-fed slot antenna realized in PEDOT:PSS conductive polymerConference paper003005921510.1109/APS.2016.76963660003883771006362-s2.0-84997261229279901Chen, S.
