Design and performance improvement of textile patch antenna with multilayer substrates for wearable applications

Abstract

The human life becomes live because of the communication between newlinethem, even they are close to each other or separated apart. With the development newlinein the technology for devising the communication equipments, the newlinecommunication has become fast and simplest. Antenna is one of the most newlineimportant electronic elements used to make the communication alive. newlineThe antenna plays a vital role in making the feasible communication amongst newlinethe people. Among the various types of antenna present, based on the simple newlinedesign, low cost, small size and reliability, micro strip patch antennas have newlineattracted the designers much. newlineAccording to the current trends in patch antenna design, the main newlinechallenges met by the researchers are miniaturization of the devices, finding newlinesuitable materials for their fabrication which ensure long life of the device, newlinefrequency of operation specified for the particular application and improved newlineperformance without paying added price. Existing materials used for these newlinedevices have some limitations on the degree of miniaturization and field of newlineapplication where they are going to be utilized. Hence, the present research has newlinebeen focused on finding suitable materials and implementation of appropriate newlinetechniques for the enhanced performance of the antenna to an adequate level. newline newline
