title: Direct transfer patterning of electrically small antennas onto three-dimensionally contoured substrates.
abstract: 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.
