Stretchable transmission lines and circuits for microwave and millimeter wave frequency wearable electronics

摘要

Stretchable high frequency transmission lines and high-frequency filters comprising the transmission lines are provided. The transmission lines provide low power loss, even at microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. The transmission lines are thin and flexible and can be stretched without a significant degradation of their scattering parameters. As a result, the transmission lines have applications as interconnects in stretchable and flexible integrated circuits (IC) and circuit device components, such as flexible transistors and flexible diodes.
