Abstract
In the medical world, a check-up is the first step doctors take to obtain information about a patient's health. Many advances in telemedicine, including health tracking, have advanced with the times. A wearable antenna was developed to enhance the monitoring process and make it more convenient for patients. Fabrics that are both flexible and comfortable used are often applied. It is also necessary to have an antenna with sufficient data transmitting capacity. An Ultra Wide-Band (UWB) antenna is a device that can transmit large quantities of data. This is because the UWB antenna's bandwidth has a wide transmission band. This paper proposes a UWB flexible telemedicine antenna working at 6.55 GHz. The condura substrate is used with frog patch shaped. Condura fabric was proved to be an interesting fabric for textile antennas because of its strength, constant thickness, and high water resistance properties. From simulated results, the antenna has 7.86 GHz of bandwidth with 10.8 dBi of gain. The simulated return loss of -20.57 dB is achieved at 6.5 GHz.
