Abstract
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.
