Flexible Antenna for Microwave Application

Dear Colleagues,

Flexible antennas are growing exponentially due to the demand for wearable technologies, Internet of Things (IoT) frameworks, point-of-care devices, custom medical platforms, 5G technology, wireless sensor networks, and small-form factor communications devices. to name a few, field. The choice of a non-rigid antenna is application-specific and depends on the type of substrate, materials used, processing methods, antenna performance and environmental factors. Numerous design advancements, novel materials and their qualities, innovative production techniques, and specialized applications exist. The demand for wearable and implantable devices for health monitoring systems and everyday wireless devices is one of the factors driving the rapid growth of the flexible wireless device market (e.g., cell phones, laptop computers, wearables, etc.). This has led to an upsurge in the development of flexible antennas in recent years, particularly for biomedical applications. This Special Issue will focus on flexible antennas and microwave components, materials, fabrication technologies, performance validation, and design requirements. This Special Issue will concentrate on the inherent difficulties and novel applications of flexible microwave components in future wireless technologies.
