Parametric analysis of a small button shaped antenna camouflage with fabrics for body wearable applications

Abstract

Wearable antennas are transfiguring the consumer electronics because of their capability to work while being worn. Some of the notable examples include smart watches made of Bluetooth antennas, cameras often strapped by the user to capture footage etc. In this paper a wearable antenna is proposed, that has the shape of the button which can be worn on a cloth or fabric. A new antenna is designed by stacking dielectric resonator DR. The antenna has top and a bottom disc mounted on a cylindrical structure. The entire setup is then etched on the substrate with microstrip feed. The CPW is merged to achieve the desired frequency of Wi-Max and WLAN application. Thus, the designed antenna exhibited the desired resonant frequency applicable for Wi-Max application and can be used for WLAN as well. This antenna can be used along with the CMOS transceiver and can be integrated in medical, military and other wireless application.
