Design and modeling of deformation for on body WBAN antennas

Abstract

This report shows a textile antenna is used for fabric applications can be used. A compact planar antenna can be seen from the aspect of the difference performance under bending and crumpling conditions. This antenna is made of materials that can be integrated into clothing to observe the performance of the antenna without a shift in resonance. One important application is to monitor the health of patients at any time without restricting patient movement. The proposed system aims to improve and optimize a wireless health monitoring system's communication link through the use of a flexible textile antenna worn on a patient's body, robust against bending, crumpling and stretching conditions. The performance parameters such as impedance and radiation pattern investigate are based on numerical and experimental methods at 2.45GHz by using Computer System Technology (CST).
