TL;DR
This paper introduces a new flexible antenna design for detecting electrical discharges in power equipment, improving performance in challenging environments.
Contribution
A directional flexible antenna with a 3D coplanar waveguide is proposed to enhance partial discharge detection in metal-enclosed electrical systems.

Abstract
Due to the challenges in antenna installation and detection performance caused by metal obstruction along the propagation path at a Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) cable terminal, as well as the adverse effects of environmental interference on the detection of partial discharge (PD) by existing flexible antennas, this paper proposes a directional flexible antenna design to mitigate these issues and improve detection performance. The proposed design employs a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed monopole antenna structure, where the grounding plane is extended to the back of the antenna to enhance directional reception. The designed flexible antenna measures 88.5 × 70 × 20 mm, and its low-profile design allows it to be easily mounted on the outer wall of the epoxy sleeve at the GIS cable terminal. The measurement results show that the flexible antenna has a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of…
