Design of Textile Wearable Antenna for WBAN Applications

Abstract

For treating difficult medical diseases, biomedical gadgets are receiving a lot of attention.In this research, a wearable Microstrip patch antenna for biomedical purposes that operates at a 2.45 GHz frequency range in the ISM Band is shown.A unique patch structure has been developed to excite the antenna in this design, which uses an edge feed.To maximise the antenna's flexibility, it will be embedded into a cotton cloth instead of a copper plate.The antenna is suited to be put in direct contact with the human body as a result.The antenna's design met a number of criteria, including biocompatibility, fulfilment of the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), efficient radiation characteristics, and shrinking of the antenna's size.As a result, this antenna may be used for both on-body and off-body communications.The suggested antenna may be employed in WBAN applications, according on the findings of measuring the usual antenna characteristics.Fabrication, measurement, and testing of the prototype are required.
