A Printed Wearable Dual Band Antenna for Remote Healthcare Monitoring Device

Abstract

In this article, a CPW-fed flexible antenna which can work at two separate operating frequencies is proposed. The split ring resonator structure is used to replace the conventional monopole patch in order to generate two resonant frequencies. The antenna is aimed to fabricate with a round shape on a flexible material, a paper substrate with e = 3.55 to make it suitable for wearing on the chest of the patient for monitoring device. The result shows that the antenna radiates at 2.45 and 5.5 GHz that can be connect with WiFi and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) network for remote monitoring.
