Abstract

With the development of body-centric wireless communications, more communication system contain antennas integrated in clothing. A wearable antenna is to be a part of the clothing used for wireless communication purposes, which include tracking and navigation, mobile and wearable computing and public safety. The conventional antennas are not flexible and difficult for user to move. There is a need of antennas made of flexible textile materials that can be part of user clothing defmed as wearable antennas. In particular, the microstrip antennas are good candidates for body-worn applications, as they mainly radiate perpendicularly to the planar structure and also their ground plane efficiently shields the body tissues. This paper shows research on wearable microstrip antennas designed and developed for ISM band at 5.8 GHz frequency. The main focus of this project is to define a good textile material that will be used as the substrate. Three different textile will be examined to determine the best permittivity value. Here at 5.8 GHz frequency microstrip antenna is designed and simulated using CST Microwave Studio.
