Abstract
This article focuses on the design and simulation of a miniaturized patch antenna operating at 930 MHz frequency for wearable RFID applications. We are interested in the use of two types of substrates that are felt and jeans. The antenna is simulated using textile materials placed over a parallelepipedal Phantom having the Physical Properties of a 930 MHz tissue. The parallelepipedal ghost is modelled with dimensions equal to 300*300*300 mm3. CST Microwave Studio Software is used to design and simulate the structure. The nearer the antenna is to the body, the more radiated power is absorbed. The simulation results obtained have well described the influence of the distance of the body on the performance of the antenna. Performances in terms of radiation pattern return loss and gain are presented and discussed.
