Abstract
A flexible antenna embedded in a polydimethylsiloxane structure and integrated with an Artificial Magnetic Conductor plane is presented. The conducting elements of the antenna is fully-implemented using Eutectic Gallium Indium liquid metal except for its ground plane. Its dual band operation which is designed based on the operating principles of a patch antenna modified with slots and slits enabled its operation in the 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands. The integration of the antenna and AMC plane fully made using liquid metal embedded in PDMS enabled a highly flexible antenna, besides potentially enabling the addition of tunable characteristics to the structure. Simulations and measurements of the antenna performance indicated good agreements, with bandwidths of 80 MHz and 460 MHz in the lower band and upper band and between 4 and 5 dBi of gain.
