Proper narrowband antenna design for wearable devices in the biomedical application is a significant field of research interest. In this work, defected ground structure-based microstrip patch antenna has been proposed that can work for narrowband applications. The proposed antenna works exactly for a single channel of ISM band. The resonant frequency of the antenna is 2.45 GHz with a return loss of around -30 dB. The -10dB impedance bandwidth of the antenna is 20 MHz (2.442-2.462 GHz), which is the bandwidth of channel 9 in ISM band. The antenna has achieved a high gain of 7.04 dBi with an increase of 17.63% antenna efficiency in terms of realized gain by using defected ground structure. Three linear vector arrays of arrangement 1 2, 1 4 and 1 8 have been designed to validate the proposed antenna performances as an array. The proposed antenna is light weighted, low cost, easy to fabricate and with better performances that makes it suitable for biomedical WLAN applications.
An operating center frequency of 2.45 GHz rectangular inset fed microstrip patch antenna with defected ground structures for ISM band applications has been presented in this paper. The return loss of the proposed antenna is-29.726 dB with impedance bandwidth for S-11<-10 mathrm d mathrm B is 2.441 to 2.462 GHz, that covers IEEE S02.11 g/n OFDM 20 MHz channel width. The antenna has a directional far-field pattern at the boresight direction of 0^o with a good total antenna efficiency of-1.39 dB. The proposed antenna is light weighted, easy to fabricate and achieved good directivity gain of 7.04 dBi and VSWR of 1.06 at the resonant frequency that makes it suitable for WLAN applications.
