Screen-Printable Reliable Antennas on Rough Substrates |
Presented at IEEE APS 2021

Printing functional inks on fabrics is very challenging due to the roughness and inconsistency of fabrics, reliability is also a major concern. Here, we present a method for printing reliable RF electronics and antennas on fabric using heat-pressing and transfer printing of low-temperature silver.

The work was presented at the 2021 IEEE Antenna and Propagation Symposium (APS), and the same technique is utilized in a recent IEEE Journal of Microwaves Publication on Printed mmWave capacitors and DC blocking lines.
