Abstract: In recent years, there has been a significant increase in interest in the use of flexible sensor structures for various applications. These structures are relatively inexpensive and can be fabricated in different shapes and sizes. The present article investigates three types of flexible capacitive sensor structures with different forms. The influence of bending on their capacitance, impedance, and dielectric losses in the frequency domain has been studied. Some of the obtained results are presented graphically, and an analysis of the properties of the structures has been conducted.
