Abstract :
This paper presents the implementation of Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) components and antennas in a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. PET is a cheap and flexible material, which represents an important candidate for the development of future conformal and wearable wireless systems.
