In this paper, the time domain analysis of an Ultra Wide Band antenna flexible circular monopole antenna is presented. The antenna is fabricated on liquid crystalline polymer flexible substrate with a compact geometry that makes it suitable for wearable applications under different bending conditions. The antenna is fed by coplanar waveguide transmission line and has a compact total size of 40 × 22 mm 2 . Moreover, the antenna has good radiation efficiency (97%) over the bandwidth. The presented antenna has a good performance over the operating spectrum for straight and bending configurations. The design principals along with simulation and experimental results are presented in this contribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
