    This paper presents a single-layered fabric-based flexible linear-to-circular polarizer for GNSS application operating at 1.575 GHz. The structure presented here is based on a square aperture with an E-shaped patch structure on the reverse side. The size of the structure is 0. 21λ0 ×0. 26λ0 × 0. 01λ0 The complete structure is flexible, and the frequency of operation is centered at 1.575 GHz, with a minimum value of the axial ratio achieved is 0.06 dB. The 3 dB axial ratio fractional bandwidth is 3.81% (1.54-1.60 GHz) and the conversion efficiency fractional bandwidth covering 90% is 5.09% (1.53 to 1.61 GHz).

    A flexible Kapton-based coplanar waveguide-fed (CPW) patch antenna has been designed in this work to operate in different wireless applications. The wideband operation and compact size of the antenna is enabled using a simple rhombic-shaped integrated onto the monopole which was designed using a rectangular patch. The proposed broadband antenna model operated below -10dB at 2.45 GHz and 3.5 GHz for the WLAN/WBAN and 5G band, respectively. The antenna optimization process is explained when varying the ground structure, patch dimensions, feed width, and substrate thickness using FEKO software. The performance of the antenna is studied in terms of radiation efficiency, gain, bandwidth and current distributions. Results indicate that the proposed antenna operates throughout the 2.45 and 3.5 GHz bands, with a bandwidth of1710 MHz.
