Design of a spring-line-shaped stretchable antenna with up to 40 % stretch ratio for human body strain sensing applications
With the continuous update of communication technology, smart wearable devices are developing rapidly. It can be equipped with various sensors to monitor physiological indicators, helping users better understand their health conditions. Compared to traditional strain sensors, stretchable antennas have the characteristics of small size, low power consumption, and conformal integration with the skin. A stretchable antenna with a spring-line-shaped (SLS) structure is presented in this paper, exhibiting a stretch ratio of up to 40 %. We introduce the evolution process of the antenna structure and analyze the factors affecting the stretchability of SLS antenna. When the antenna is attached to human tissue, the specific absorption rate (SAR) value is 0.007 W/kg. The experimental results show that within the strain range of 0–40 %, the resonant frequency varies from 2.8 to 3.07 GHz and |S11| remains below −15 dB. The Gauge Factor (GF) reaches 0.23, and the goodness of fit is 0.96. Hence, the proposed antenna has an excellent application prospect in the wearable device field.
