Abstract
A double slot antenna for X-band applications was designed and aerosol jet printing technology was used to fabricate the prototype with silver nano-ink on a flexible polyimide substrate. We investigated the microwave losses of printed antennas in the range from 100 kHz to 27 GHz, obtained at sintering temperatures of 200 °C and 250 °C. Double slot X-band antennas have been calculated and measured. It was found that an operating bandwidth of the printed antenna is 10% in the region of the central frequency of 10.5 GHz. Thus, the possibility of forming antennas on flexible polymer substrates with high functional characteristics by aerosol jet printing method has been demonstrated.
