Abstract

This paper investigates an original concept of electro-geometrical analysis of flexible microstrip antenna. The research work is focused on the analysis of the innovative effect of “V”- shape folding on the resonance frequency and input impedance of microstrip patch antenna. The V-folded antenna is assumed to behave as an arm constituted by horizontal and tilted members which are geometrically characterized by the folding angle, a. The folding is characterized by the angle between the horizontal plane and the folded part of the patch antenna printed on a Kapton flexible substrate. The initially flat-configured planar antenna was designed to operate at about 2.45 GHz. The innovative design method of the V-shape folded flexible antenna is explained. Full wave electromagnetic simulations of different geometrical states of the flexible antenna were performed in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 5 GHz. Exceptional results of tilted surface radiating part of flexible patch antenna were found with a positive folding angle from amin=0° to amax=45°. It was understood for the first time in the area of antenna engineering that the resonance frequency is fluctuating according to typical sine damping in the function of the V-folding angle variation. The folded angle effect, which has never been understood before is discussed. In addition to the angle effect, the input resistance and input reactance of the V-folded flexible patch antenna is also plotted.

Keywords: V-folding, flexible antenna, microstrip patch antenna, design method, resonance frequency, input impedance .
