Origami Technology
摘要
The purpose of this chapter is to recall origami technology, outline its properties and applications, as well as discuss its attractive features in the context of contemporary engineering. The main part of the chapter focuses on origami antennas. We juxtapose these and traditional antenna systems and introduce the basic types of origami antennas from the point of view of their implementation. We discuss single- and multi-paper-based structures, PET-based antennas, origami antennas realized on conventional substrates, and well as those manufactured using the inkjet and 3D printing technology.
