In this paper, the authors investigate the influence of DC
conductivity on the RF performance of screen printed traces
on a flexible substrate. From literature, much work has been
done on the effect of sintering conditions on the electrical
resistivity of printed traces. Typically the traces were printed
onto substrates with negligible surface roughness. Yet this
would not be the case for printing on textiles for wearable
electronics applications. In this paper, we investigate the
electrical resistivity of screen printed traces on a substrate
which is similar to fabrics, in that it is flexible and has nonnegligible
surface roughness (Ra~1μm). In particular, an
accurate simulation model was developed to correlate with the
measurement results, which would provide guidelines for the
modelling of similar printed traces to predict their RF
performances.
