Smart patch wearable antenna on Jeans textile for body wireless communication

摘要

Nowadays, there is much interest in body-worn textile antenna which is made of common clothing and operates at wireless communication bands. In this letter, a novel wearable textile antenna is designed to operate at Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands of 2.45GHz and 5.8GHz for future wireless systems. The performance characteristics of our present wearable antenna are studied in free space and on human-body environments. The wearable textile antenna is compact with omnidirectional radiation patterns and the total size is of 42mm×13mm. Due to its small size, the proposed antenna may have practical applications in the smart wearable textile fields.
