The model of azimuth driving servo system with a flexible antenna in a prototype gimbal has been derived in this work. The validity of the model is verified by comparing the result of the model with that of experiment. It is found that one should consider an antenna as a flexible body in case of modeling the dynamics of the gimbal with an antenna. It is also known that the effect of reducing backlash magnitude for extending the bandwidth in the system with a flexible antenna is smaller than the system with a stiff antenna. It is thought that the model-based design optimization of the gimbal with an antenna will be possible by virtue of the derived model, when a weight reduction and a bandwidth extension are required.

In this paper, we studied characteristics of the bent antenna febricated on Flexible-PCB. Flexible-PCB consisting of a polyimide has dielectric constant 3.5, thickness 0.125 mm. Proposed antennas which operates at Bluetooth band are a rectangular loop antenna and a loop antenna with inverted-L type stub. We compared the input matching and radiation characteristics of the proposed antennas under eight kinds of bending conditions.

This paper presents identification and control of a 10-m antenna via accelerometers and angle encoder data. Artificial Neural Networks can be used effectively for the identification and control of nonlinear dynamical system such as a large flexible antenna. Some identification results are shown and compared with the results of conventional prediction error method. And we use a neural network inverse model for control the large flexible antenna. In the neural network inverse model, a neural network is trained, using supervised learning, to develop an inverse model of the antenna. The network input is the process output, and the network output is the corresponding process input. The control results show the validation of the ANN approach for identification and control of the 10-m flexible antenna.

In this paper, we fabricated flexible antenna radiator using the CNT/PVDF (carbon nanotube / polyvinylidene fluoride) composite film. We used polymer film as a matrix material for the flexible devices, and introduced CNTs for adding conductivity into the film resulting in obtaining performances of the antenna radiator. Spray coating method was used to form the CNT/PVDF composite radiator, and pattern formation of the radiator was done by shadow mask during the spray coating process. We investigated the electrical properties of the CNT/PVDF composite films with the CNT concentration, and also estimated the radiator performance. Finally we discuss the feasibility of the CNT/PVDF composite radiator for the flexible antenna.

In this paper, we designed detachable T-DMB receiver antenna on the windshield of the car. Designed antenna is composed of only copper and feeders. To escape completely from driver's sight, it exists edging of windshield. Proposed antenna by considering body of properties and characteristics of the antenna input impedance have T-DMB frequency band(174~216 MHz). Proposed flexible antenna with Common Mode Stub is satisfied characteristics less than -5 dB antenna input return loss regardless of installation position on windshield.

The model of azimuth driving servo system with a flexible antenna in a microwave seeker has been derived in this paper. The validity of the model is verified by comparing the result of the model with that of experiment. It is found that one should consider an antenna as a flexible body in case of modeling the dynamics of the microwave seeker. It is also known that the effect of reducing backlash magnitude for extending the bandwidth in the system with a flexible antenna is smaller than that in the system with a stiff antenna. It is thought that the model-based design optimization of the microwave seeker will become possible by virtue of the derived model, when a weight reduction and a bandwidth extension are required.

In this paper, we proposed flexible T-DMB dipole-shaped antenna that has strength of glass antenna and also has portability and ease of production. The input impedance of antenna according to vehicle body-effect was considered in order to install the antenna on the top of the front window. Installation position of on-glass antennas are changeable defends on driver, so we proposed Interdigital capacitor in feeding point to achieve matching characteristic with no position limit. The measurement result showed good return loss characteristic-below -6 dB in the T-DMB frequency band and maintained fixed resonant frequency.

This paper presents an antenna design that can be applied to flexible transparent conducting film. The antennas shaping PIFA (Planar Inverted F-shpae Antenna) were produced on polyamide substrates, which are flexible. The IZTO/Ag/IZTO multilayer films were used for the antennas and exhibited superior electrical, optical and flexible characteristics. This study compared the transparency and performance of two antennas (IZTO/Ag/IZTO multilayer film, and Ag monolayer film). The operation frequencies were set to 5.18~5.32 GHz of WLAN (802.11a). The performance showed a maximum efficiency and peak gain of 89 % and 5.86 dBi, respectively.

We designed and fabricated, in this paper, a quintuple band folded monopole antenna for the mobile phone handset that can be provided multiple mobile services. Antenna design was based on the compensation of series antenna capacitance with the expansion of physical antenna length by the proper folding structure. It's shown that this antenna satisfies quintuple service band as CDMA/GSM/DCS/USPCS/WCDMA, and is more cost competitive than conventional metal plate pressing method by applying on flexible PCB technology. Measured maximum gain on quintuple band were $-2.51{\sim}+1.82 dBi$, and radiation patterns were also shown nearly omnidirectional on all bands.

A wearable T-matching dipole UHF RFID tag antenna has been designed using conductive electro-thread. The conductivity of the electro-thread has been measured depending on the number of twisted thread. The measured conductivity has been used for simulation to have accurate simulation results. The flexible electro-thread or fabric has been used for fabricating the antenna instead of using copper tape since the electro-thread is more flexible and wearable than copper tape. The return loss and reading range of the fabricated electro-thread UHF RFID tag antennas have been tested. The reading range is approximately 2.4 m.
