摘要: This paper presents the characteristics of a compact and conformal ultra wideband (UWB) antenna fabricated on Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) substrate to be used in wearable applications. The presented return loss radiation pattern measurements demonstrated that are not compromised when is bent or even folded. shows similar reliable electrical mechanical performances electronics, where their planar condition cannot guaranteed. antenna's ability work under adverse environments (i.e. heating water) also investigated negligible impact these conditions performance promises use such
