Abstract

In this paper, a novel wearable wideband antenna for application in wireless medical communication systems (0.9–6 GHz) is designed. For bandwidth enhancement, five parallel metal plates (PMPs) are placed on the top of the antenna’s patch without any disturbing effects on the performances. With the help of the proposed method, the bandwidth has been increased by about 3 GHz in comparison with the conventional one. The antenna dimensions are 60 × 48 × 0.8 mm³ or 0.72 × 0.57 × 0.009 λ_g³ where λ_g is the guided wavelength at 2.4 GHz. Simple design, wearable, wide bandwidth, and compact size are the most important benefits of the proposed antenna. Finally, to prove the simulations and designs, the proposed antenna was fabricated. The measurement outcomes are also consistent with the simulation results.

摘要

在本文中，设计了一种用于无线医疗通信系统 (0.9-6 GHz) 的新型可穿戴宽带天线。为了增强带宽，五个平行金属板 (PMP) 放置在天线贴片的顶部，而不会对性能产生任何干扰影响。借助所提出的方法，与传统方法相比，带宽增加了约 3 GHz。天线尺寸为 60 × 48 × 0.8 mm ³或 0.72 × 0.57 × 0.009 λ _g ³其中λ _g是 2.4 GHz 的引导波长。简单的设计、可穿戴、宽带宽和紧凑的尺寸是所提议天线最重要的优点。最后，为了证明仿真和设计，制造了所提出的天线。测量结果也与模拟结果一致。
