Amita Agnihotri, Khushi Awasthi, Arpit Sharma

Abstract


Flexible antennas become a growing number of things as part of the rising demand for accessible, wireless IoT-based medical equipment. This paper majorly focuses on the various methods of fabrication of these flexible antennas. Here, several kinds of design innovations, novel materials, and innovative methods of manufacturing are laid out.  Hence this review paper justifies the need for flexible antennas, processes used for fabricating them and their significance.
