  • Abstract
    Printable electronics have been identified as a potential modern manufacturing technology for antenna patterns. In this paper, the direct write printing technique is used to study the various parameters related to a handset antenna manufacturing on a 3D surface. The goal of this study was to find the gaps in the antenna performance and identify following tasks needed to switch to a direct printing from another antenna manufacturing technology on-the-fly.
