Abstract
In this paper, a novel inkjet-printed flexible broadband multilayer coupler on a polyimide film (Kapton) in substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology is implemented for the first time. A flexible broadband microstrip-to-SIW interconnect is inkjet-printed and its flexibility is tested. An inkjet-printed multilayer coupler is also demonstrated based on the flexible SIW interconnect.
