Abstract
There is a strong need for high efficiency antennas and passives for applications where high frequency operation, light weight, and conforming to a curved surface are required. In recent years there has been an increase in using flexible Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) substrates because of their inherent flexibility and improved loss characteristics. In particular there have been multiple efforts to use these substrates for microwave and mm-wave frequency ranges [1,2].
