This paper presents the design of flexible parasitic element patch (FPEP) antenna with defects on ground plane at ISM band for biomedical application. The antenna resonates at 2.46 GHz frequency with reflection coefficient of −16.8 GHz in free space and at 2.45 GHz frequency when being placed on cotton and the single layer skin tissue of human body. The proposed parasitic element patch antenna is used to measure the body temperature, and the specific absorption rate (SAR) of the proposed antennas is 1.0 W/kg. The measurement data with respect to reflection coefficient, and radiation pattern are presented.
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.
