In fact, remote monitoring of the elderly and those with health issues is becoming ever more critical. Wearable electronic devices that are both low-cost, compact, and portable are in high demand to address these concerns. The purpose of this study is to provide the design and analysis of a flexible ultra- wideband (UWB) antenna for healthcare applications. The proposed microstrip antenna has two incisions on the lower left and right sides of the radiating patch. The antenna is made from a jeans material with a relative permittivity of 1.7 and measures 58x80x1 mm3. By employing a unique patch shape with partial cuts on the lower edges of the patch, the present design attempts to optimize the antenna structure to accommodate UWB (3.1 to 10.6 GHz) operating spectrum from 3 to 14.1 GHz. The proposed antenna has an FBW of 148% and a total gain of 4.3 dB.

摘要

In fact, remote monitoring of the elderly and those with health issues is becoming ever more critical. Wearable electronic devices that are both low-cost, compact, and portable are in high demand to address these concerns. The purpose of this study is to provide the design and analysis of a flexible ultra- wideband (UWB) antenna for healthcare applications. The proposed microstrip antenna has two incisions on the lower left and right sides of the radiating patch. The antenna is made from a jeans material with a relative permittivity of 1.7 and measures 58x80x1 mm3. By employing a unique patch shape with partial cuts on the lower edges of the patch, the present design attempts to optimize the antenna structure to accommodate UWB (3.1 to 10.6 GHz) operating spectrum from 3 to 14.1 GHz. The proposed antenna has an FBW of 148% and a total gain of 4.3 dB.
