摘要
A direct transfer patterning process is presented that allows metallic patterns to be stamped onto a contoured substrate. This process was used to make some of the most efficient electrically small antennas to date, while maintaining bandwidths approaching the physical limit. Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
