Abstract

This paper presents a novel, wideband, and flexible coplanar waveguide (CPW) antenna design on a low-cost denim substrate. The antenna exhibits conformal properties and achieves robust dual-band performance. The antenna achieves a maximum gain of 6.18 dB at 6.5 GHz and a peak efficiency of 98% at 2.45 GHz in normal conditions. The fabricated prototype demonstrates excellent agreement between simulated and measured results. The simulated impedance bandwidth ranged from (2.20–3 GHz) for the first band and (4.41–7.43 GHz) for the second band. The measured results show that it offers −10 dB impedance bandwidths of 22% (2.2–2.75 GHz) for WBAN applications and 68% (3.63–7.43 GHz) for WLAN and WIFI-6E applications through strategically designed slots in the ground plane (symmetric U-slot and rectangular slot). Furthermore, the antenna's performance remains stable under various bending conditions and exhibits satisfactory behavior close to the human body, making it suitable for wearable applications. This cost-effective design presents a promising solution for integration into various consumer electronics. The proposed antenna design is a low-cost solution for various wearable consumer electronics applications. This antenna is a potential solution for enhanced workforce management, secure access control, and identification.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Communication Systems provides a forum for R&D, open to researchers from all types of institutions and organisations worldwide, aimed at the increasingly important area of communication technology. The Journal''s emphasis is particularly on the issues impacting behaviour at the system, service and management levels. Published twelve times a year, it provides coverage of advances that have a significant potential to impact the immense technical and commercial opportunities in the communications sector. The International Journal of Communication Systems strives to select a balance of contributions that promotes technical innovation allied to practical relevance across the range of system types and issues. The Journal addresses both public communication systems (Telecommunication, mobile, Internet, and Cable TV) and private systems (Intranets, enterprise networks, LANs, MANs, WANs). The following key areas and issues are regularly covered: -Transmission/Switching/Distribution technologies (ATM, SDH, TCP/IP, routers, DSL, cable modems, VoD, VoIP, WDM, etc.) -System control, network/service management -Network and Internet protocols and standards -Client-server, distributed and Web-based communication systems -Broadband and multimedia systems and applications, with a focus on increased service variety and interactivity -Trials of advanced systems and services; their implementation and evaluation -Novel concepts and improvements in technique; their theoretical basis and performance analysis using measurement/testing, modelling and simulation -Performance evaluation issues and methods.
