Low Cost Flexible Antenna for IoT Applications

A compact flexible conformal antenna for multiband applications is proposed. The antenna is useful for the wide range of applications such as the IoT, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ISM band. With a -6 dB impedance bandwidth, the antenna covers frequency bands from 0.773 -0.883 GHz, 2.1 - 2.7 GHz and 5.2 - 6.4 GHz. The antenna is designed on a flexible Acrylic sheet which makes it suitable for the conformal applications. The scheme to integrate the antenna to the IoT devices is also proposed. Additional results would be shown during the symposium.
