This paper presents a newly developed flexible Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-Copper (CU) patch antenna. The circular-shaped antenna consists of a 21.28mm radial size Cu patch embedded on a PDMS square substrate. PDMS has a low loss tangent of 0.004 and a relative permittivity of 2.74 that will enhance...
