Abstract :
A flexible antenna based on the composite right/left-handed transmission line is proposed. The flexible antenna is fabricated on liquid crystal polymer substrate with a thickness of 80 m. The antenna operates at 2.3 GHz and its size is 38 43 mm. The return losses of the proposed antenna are almost unchanged while it is bent from 90 to 90 .
