Summary:
This paper presents a Slot Array Antenna (SAA) which is fabricated on Thin Film Mylar Polyester (TFMP) substrate. The TFMP is low cost and also flexible material which can bend on curved surface and used for on-body communication system. The prototype antenna consists of microstrip transmission line and periodic slot arrays. For the measurement results, SAA shows dual resonant bahaviors at 2000 MHz and 2200 MHz with similar bidirectional radiation. The bandwidth is 520 MHz or 24.76%. In addition, the average measured gain is around 10.1 dBi at its operation bandwidth. Finally, SAA using TFMP can achieve wideband, high gain and conformal antenna.
