Recent Trends in Microstrip Patch Antenna Using Textile Applications

Abstract

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) have gotten a lot of interest as the need for wearable gadgets like smart watches, eyewear, and clothing grows. WBAN applications need the use of a conformal antenna. A low-profile IR-UWB antenna and an all-textile higher order mode circular patch antenna for omnidirectional radiation were used to meet this need. To achieve maximum power output, researchers need to maintain the antenna's efficiency as high as feasible while designing a lightweight antenna for wireless power transfer. The need for tiny textile antennas with high gain and broadband features has risen in response to the fast growth of wireless power transfer. Microstrip patch antennas provide a number of advantages, including a cheap cost, a low profile, a light weight, and a simple manufacturing method. Increases in substrate thickness, antenna efficiency, use of a low dielectric substrate, and different impedance matching and feeding techniques are all examples of ways to enhance antenna bandwidth.

Recent Advances of 5G Technology Based on Patch Antenna: A Literature Review

“…According to Kannadhasan et.al., [59], in patch antennas, conformal antennas have been developed for wireless body area networks (WBANs) for use with wearable devices. For different wireless communication standards including Wi-Fi, WiMAX and 5G, researchers are trying to increase bandwidth and efficiency through microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) [17] [60].…”
