“…An embroidered antenna-IC in–erconnections in passive UHF RFID electrotextile tags and the possibility of creating a planar dipole tag by only embroidering the borderlines of the full antenna shape was studied earlier [ 125 ]. A 160-mm-diameter Archimedean spiral antenna was weaved using seven-filament silver-plated copper Elektrisola E-threads on a Kevlar fabric substrate [ 126 ]. The application area of this antenna covered several wideband, conformal, and load-bearing applications, such as airborne and wearables.…”

The field of flexible antennas is witnessing an exponential growth due to the demand for wearable devices, Internet of Things (IoT) framework, point of care devices, personalized medicine platform, 5G technology, wireless sensor networks, and communication devices with a smaller form factor to name a few. The choice of non-rigid antennas is application specific and depends on the type of substrate, materials used, processing techniques, antenna performance, and the surrounding environment. There are numerous design innovations, new materials and material properties, intriguing fabrication methods, and niche applications. This review article focuses on the need for flexible antennas, materials, and processes used for fabricating the antennas, various material properties influencing antenna performance, and specific biomedical applications accompanied by the design considerations. After a comprehensive treatment of the above-mentioned topics, the article will focus on inherent challenges and future prospects of flexible antennas. Finally, an insight into the application of flexible antenna on future wireless solutions is discussed.
