Abstract
Wearable antennas are designed to function to be worn. These antennas are commonly used in wearable wireless communication. The three-element flexible array antenna is designed with ECE-Shaped slots by using flexible felt material as substrate with a thickness of 3mm, and its permittivity is 1.22 to give good insulation. This array antenna is designed for a frequency of 2.4 GHz with dimensions of 173 mm by 50 mm, and the distance between patches is chosen to be 20 mm. The return loss is at S11 = -15 dB. This design can cover the ISM band and provide good performance. The parameters that are listed from the designed antenna are the reflection coefficient, VSWR, gain, directivity, and specific absorption rate (SAR), which should be less than safety levels. The designed three-element flexible array antenna is applicable for biomedical applications.
期刊介绍:
ARPN Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences (ISSN 1819-6608) is an online peer-reviewed International research journal aiming at promoting and publishing original high quality research in all disciplines of engineering sciences and technology. All research articles submitted to ARPN-JEAS should be original in nature, never previously published in any journal or presented in a conference or undergoing such process across the globe. All the submissions will be peer-reviewed by the panel of experts associated with particular field. Submitted papers should meet the internationally accepted criteria and manuscripts should follow the style of the journal for the purpose of both reviewing and editing. Our mission is -In cooperation with our business partners, lower the world-wide cost of research publishing operations. -Provide an infrastructure that enriches the capacity for research facilitation and communication, among researchers, college and university teachers, students and other related stakeholders. -Reshape the means for dissemination and management of information and knowledge in ways that enhance opportunities for research and learning and improve access to scholarly resources. -Expand access to research publishing to the public. -Ensure high-quality, effective and efficient production and support good research and development activities that meet or exceed the expectations of research community.
