The concept of wearable products such as textile
antenna are being developed which are capable of monitoring,
alerting and demanding attention whenever hospital
emergency is needed, hence minimizing labour and
resource. In the proposed work by using textile material
as a substrate the ultra wideband antenna is designed
especially for medical applications.Simulated and measured
results here shows that the proposed antenna design
meets the requirements of wide working bandwidth
and provides 13.08 GHz bandwidth with very small size,
washable (if using conductive thread for conductive parts)
and flexible materials. Results in terms of bandwidth, radiation
pattern, return loss as well as gain and efficiency
are presented to validate the usefulness of the current proposed
design. The work done here has many implications
for future research and it could help patients with such
flexible and comfortable medical monitoring techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
