Abstract :
In this paper, a dual-band conformal antenna for use in Wifi frequency bands is designed and developed using conductive inkjet printing technique. Paper as a high frequency substrate is used for low cost reasons. Discussion about the benefits of using inkjet printing is also provided. Measured results are presented showing a good agreement with theoretical ones.
