Racket Shape Textile Antenna for Triple-Band Frequency Applications

Abstract

The chapter explores a racket shaped antenna that operates in triple band frequency configuration. The main advantage of this antenna is that the design uses wearable textile material as a substrate. Here, jeans material is used as a substrate whose dielectric constant is 1.7 and thickness is 1mm. The designing and simulation are done with the help of CST software. The anticipated antenna operates in C-band and X-band providing three resonant frequencies 7.335GHz, 8 GHz, and 8.38 GHz. Different analyses have been done using CST software based on parameters like return loss, radiation pattern, smith chart, polarization, etc. For obtaining the best result, parametric study has also been done by varying the geometry of the design.

Wearable Textile Patch Antenna: Challenges and Future Directions

“…the antenna is bent nearly 90 degrees, however the return loss of the antenna is only marginally affected, with the resonance frequency increasing by only 10 MHz. Bending and crumpling effect discussed in [64], this research work. As shown in Fig.…”

“…Textile-based patch antennas are ideal for use in systems that are paired with a base station, enabling a short-range wireless communication [60], [61]. To provide ample bandwidth wireless communications, the textile patch antenna was devised [35], [38], [62]- [64]. A low-loss, lightweight, and flexible antenna was manufactured by first selecting the antenna's design and then using only lightweight and flexible textile materials [65]- [67].…”
