In this work, a flexible microstrip patch antenna has been designed to be working at 2.4 GHz using rubber as the substrate material with permittivity of 3.0 and loss tangent of 0.02. The proposed antenna has been designed to achieve a good result of reflection coefficient, vswr, gain, directivity, a...
