Abstract

Wearable antennas with dimensions of 24.5 × 15 × 1.6 mm3 for biomedical applications are designed on FR4, Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 and jeans fabric substrate for stroke imaging applications. These antennas accomplish the ease of wearability in daily wear accessories like watches, helmets and pockets with flexibility in antennas’ orientation due to omnidirectional radiation pattern. The structure is simple, miniaturization is also attained due to defected ground structure and slots insertion in Fr4 and Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate models, and partial ground is used in the case of jeans fabric substrate. All three antennas are performing well for biomedical applications like patient monitoring and microwave imaging applications.
