Impulse Response with Correlation Study of a Broadband Bended Wearable Monopole Antenna

In this paper, the impulse response of a wide band flexible circular monopole antennais presented. The antenna is fabricated on liquid crystalline polymer flexible substrate with a compact geometry that makes it suitable for wearable applications under different bending conditions. The antenna is fed by coplanar waveguidetransmission line and has a compact total size of 40 × 22 mm2. The presented antenna has a good performance over the operating frequency range for straight and bent configurations. The design principals, simulation and experimental results are presented in this work.
