“…Researchers have observed that the high gain response of 8.71 dB is achieved in denim based microstrip antenna over photopaper microstrip antenna due to the conductivity of the silver fabric on the patch. Alternatively, because of the substrate's thickness and roughness, photo paper-based microstrip antennas achieve lower return losses than denimbased microstrip antenna [45]. Denim was chosen for wearer's comfort in circular patch antenna.…”

In recent years, wearable antenna demand in biomedical applications has increased drastically. Several effective techniques and efficient structures of antenna were proposed to overcome the challenges with respect to the vicinity of the human body. In this paper, substrate and conductive material for the wearable antenna are reviewed thoroughly to ensure that it operates consistently and with flexibility. The design of wearable antennas becomes challenging when flexible substrates are examined, better conductive materials are employed during manufacturing processes and the issue exists in body-worn implementation.To address these issues in this paper, exhaustive literature is carried out based on validated characteristics such as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), gain, and bandwidth by employing radiating structure, feed, ground, and slot optimization. Effective topologies for gain enhancement, bandwidth enhancement, and SAR reduction for various wearable antenna designs on biomedical applications were reviewed through qualitative study. This extensive study on flexible and wearable technology explores the various problems and challenges involved while designing suitable antennas are discussed. This review paper also highlights the advancements in 5G technology, applications on ISM band and IOT, with particular emphasis on wearable antennas and their potential applications in the biomedical field.INDEX TERMS Wearable antenna, SAR reduction, gain enhancement and bandwidth enhancement.

“…During the embryonic stages of wearable electronics development, it was customary for researchers to persist with copper as the conductive material, which comes at the cost of flexibility. A notable exemplar of this paradigm is evident in textile-based wearable antennas [ 50 , 51 ], which typically employ fabrics, including denim [ 52 , 53 ], cotton [ 54 , 55 ], and flannel [ 56 , 57 , 58 ], as substrates. Such antennas, often referred to as intelligent garments [ 59 ], e-textiles [ 60 ], or smart fabrics [ 61 ], incorporate a thin copper-based conductive layer or conductive fabrics [ 62 , 63 , 64 ] onto these supple fabrics, thereby enabling the integration of wearable electronic functionality.…”

The intersection of biomedicine and radio frequency (RF) engineering has fundamentally transformed self-health monitoring by leveraging soft and wearable electronic devices. This paradigm shift presents a critical challenge, requiring these devices and systems to possess exceptional flexibility, biocompatibility, and functionality. To meet these requirements, traditional electronic systems, such as sensors and antennas made from rigid and bulky materials, must be adapted through material science and schematic design. Notably, in recent years, extensive research efforts have focused on this field, and this review article will concentrate on recent advancements. We will explore the traditional/emerging materials for highly flexible and electrically efficient wearable electronics, followed by systematic designs for improved functionality and performance. Additionally, we will briefly overview several remarkable applications of wearable electronics in biomedical sensing. Finally, we provide an outlook on potential future directions in this developing area.
