Abstract
This paper investigates the fundamental properties of metallised elastomers at microwave frequencies for microwave transmission line and wireless antenna applications. Stretchable or elastic antennas will significantly expand stretchable electronics applications both in the communication and biomedical sectors. Fundamental electromagnetic characterisations of elastic transmission line and antennas are evaluated using simulation software CST. A self compensating elastic antenna is presented.
