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.
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.
