n this paper, we present the design, fabrication and measurement of a 60 GHz planar antenna printed with inkjet technology over a flexible substrate. The antenna is a coplanar monopole with omnidirectional radiation. A maximum realized gain of 1.8 dBi and a total efficiency of 68% are measured. We demonstrate this technology being an interesting and competitive solution for the fabrication of radiating elements at Mm-wave frequencies.
