Abstract

The placement of wearable products integrated with telecommunication systems is having a good impact on healthcare communication all over the world. Embedded communication devices like antennas and RF devices are helping doctors to assess the condition of patients from remote locations. The present work deals with the design and development of a coplanar waveguide fed wearable antenna for ISM band (2.4–2.5 GHz), Wi-Fi, WLAN (2.4–2.48 GHz), WiMAX (3.4–3.6 GHz), and fixed satellite service (3.6–3.7 GHz and 9–11.5 GHz) applications. The designed antenna on jeans substrate (50 × 40 × 1.6 mm) provides a 1.7 GHz bandwidth with a gain of 4.6 dB. A parametric study of different fabrics and the performance characteristics of bending angles are also provided in this work from the application point of view. The simulated results obtained from CST tool and measured results of fabric material based antenna on vector network analyzer are correlated with each other. Keywords: Coplanar Waveguide, Industrial Scientific and Medical Band (ISM), Wearable Antenna, Wireless Applications
