Abstract
This paper presents the design of the capsuleshaped patch antenna applied on fabric substrate for WBAN applications at 2.45GHz ISM band. The antenna uses Pure Copper Polyester Taffeta Fabric as a conductive substrate for ground and radiator layers, and denim as dielectric substrate. Normally, a basic rectangular antenna has a narrow bandwidth. This paper proposes the new design combining a rectangular shape with a half circular shape at both end, called the capsuleshaped antenna. The other purpose of this research is to design the antenna that can be directly installed on cloth for a WBAN small sensor. The parameters used for the analysis rely on resonance frequency. The operation frequency can be analyzed based on the reflection coefficients; it is obtained from simulation results. The antenna prototypes have been built and measured. The impedance bandwidth of prototype antenna at 10 dB with a value of 11.95% compared with 7.34% of the simulation, centered at 2.45GHz. It was found that the antenna gain from simulation and measurement was 5.63dB and 3.53dB, respectively. Finally, the radiation pattern of capsule-shaped antenna was verified by the measurement results.
