Abstract: This work deals with the simulation and features of Microstrip antenna having patch of different flexible substrates. The flexible antenna finds broad range of applications in defense, satellite, Bio-medical and automobile industries. At present it is the most researched topics across the globe. The flexible antenna gets adaptable to the surface and can be used across curved surfaces. Flexible Materials like Teflon, PTFE glass are the substrates which are used to design the patch antenna. Patch size was selected such that the antenna resonates at 2.45 GHz. The antenna with measured substrate properties was simulated in High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). Small variation in resonant frequency caused due to finite ground plane dimensions and variation of feed location. The simulated results suggest that flexible substrate antennas can be successfully used for Bio-Medical Applications.
