State-of-the-art in characterization-based printed electronics RF design

Printed electronics manufacturing technology is well suited for thin, flexible wireless sensor applications. This work summarizes a state-of-the-art design methodology for printed electronics including recent advances in wide-band electrical material characterization process, characterization-based RF design, optimized antenna design for inkjet printing, and an example of an inkjet-printed wireless sensor. The research is relevant for modeling-based design of flexible wireless sensors.
