Abstract :
In this paper, a microstrip dipole antenna on a flexible organic substrate is proposed. The antenna arms are tilted to make different variations of the dipole with more compact size and almost same performance. The antennas are fed using a coplanar stripline (CPS) geometry (Simons, 2001). The antennas are then conformed over cylindrical surfaces and their performances are compared to their flat counterparts. Good performance is achieved for both the flat and conformal antennas.
