Abstract:

 A wideband Flexible Rounded Bow Tie Antenna is proposed and investigated.The flexible antennas have wide acceptance in the present days and these antennas play significant role in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) applications. The Rounded Bow tie antenna has been design on flexible polymide substrate having 4.3 dielectric constant & with thickness 0.3mm. The Bow tie antenna exhibits high gain around 7.0dB and wide frequency from 2.11GHz to 2.63GHz. Particularly the corners of the conventional triangular bowtie dipole are rounded by adding half semi-circle to achieve BW of 24.12% for return loss less than -20dB.This antenna is flexible and suitable for wearable applications. The flexible Bow tie antenna may be easily mounted on missiles, rockets and satellites without major alterations.
