Design and Analysis of Wearable Textile Jean Antenna for ISM Band Applications

Abstract

The chosen fabric and the radiation patch helps the antenna to work within the frequency range of 2.4-5.8 GHz. With the development of body centric wireless communication more and more communication systems contains antenna integrated in clothing called wearable antenna. The electromagnetic raditation has increased manyfold because of the developments in Wireless Communication Technologies. These EM radiations can cause severe harm to living organisms especially to humans. To prevent our body from this radiation, our proposed antenna can be used. The textile material that is conductive and which is equally wearable, and at the same time works as a filter, preventing the toxic radiations to enter the human body.

This antenna is not only wearable but also can be attached to our clothes for serving various purpose such as tracking a person’s location, Navigation, Monitoring a person’s health and it serves a crucial role in military field. The fabric that is conductive must be fulfilling some of the criteria such as, the fabric must have low electrical resistance so as to decrease the ohmic losses of the fabric, the entire fabric should have homogeneous surface resistivity i.e. the change in resistance need to be very less and the chosen fabric should be highly flexible in order to act like a wearable antenna.
