Performance Analysis of Wearable Antenna Using Different Substrate Fabrics

Abstract

The performance and analysis of three different substrate fabrics such as cotton, felt, and jeans for the wearable textile antenna are presented in this paper. The dielectric constants of three fabrics are between 1 and 2 only. The two arcs and one circle slot are created on a hexagonal patch. The Wi-Fi shape wearable textile antenna is designed for WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) applications. The simulated results of the radiation pattern return loss and VSWR of the aforementioned wearable textile antennas with three different substrates are evaluated, and the same is presented at the end. The Wearable antenna has been designed using HFSS software.
