Design and Analysis of Fabric Antenna for Medical and Wireless Applications

This paper aimed towards wearability of antenna by inspecting the probability of designing and fabrication of wearable microstrip antenna operating from 2–6 GHz, centered at 2.5 GHz and 5.3 GHz. The antenna is fabricated on jeans material with dielectric constant, ε r  = 1.7and thickness as 1mm. The proposed design is simulated on High frequency simulation software (HFSS) version 2015, followed by fabrication using 50 µm copper film on jeans substrate. The fabricated design is then tested by Anritsu MS2038C VNA Master. Also, specific absorption rate (SAR) values are computed for medical applications to account for the tumor detection in Human Breast tissue.
