    All-textile inspired-folded dipole antennas for on/ off-body communications medical applications
    (Alexandria University, 2022-03) Kareem, Farah R; El Atrash, Mohamed; Ibrahim, Ahmed A; Abdalla, Mahmoud Ap
    Two textile-based printed inspired Folded Dipole Antennas (FDAs) are presented in this paper for health monitoring of Covid-19 infected patients. The first antenna has an overall size of 80 mm 20 mm and is mounted on the human’s chest, while the second one is backed by a 2 4 textile Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) array structure and is mounted on a surgical mask that covers the human’s mouth. The first antenna is designed to work at center frequency, band- width, and gain of 2.45 GHz, 116.6 MHz and 2.45 dB, respectively. The second antenna works at 2.4 GHz with bandwidth of 76.6 MHz and gain of 2.71 dB. The SAR results equal 0.524 W/ Kg and 0.255 W/Kg at 1 g and 10 g, respectively, for the first antenna and 0.0174 W/Kg and 0.0091 W/Kg, respectively, for the second one. The previous specifications of the two antennas enable them to be utilized in wearable applications and Wi-Fi services. 2022 THE AUTHORS.

    Dual-band all textile antenna with AMC for heartbeat monitor and pacemaker control applications
    (Cambridge University press, 01/12/2021) Kareem, Farah R; El Atrash, Mohamed; Ibrahim, Ahmed A; Abdalla, Mahmoud A
    Currently reading: Abstract Get access Share Cite Rights & Permissions [Opens in a new window] Abstract All textile integrated dual-band monopole antenna with an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) is proposed. The proposed design operates at 2.4 and 5.8 GHz for wearable medical applications to monitor the heartbeat. A flexible and low-profile E- shaped CPW dual-band textile antenna is integrated with a 4 × 4 dual-band textile AMC reflector to enhance the gain and specific absorption rate (SAR). The SAR is reduced by nearly 95% at both 1 and 10 g. The design was measured on the body with a 2 mm separation. The simulated and measured results appear in high agreement in the case of with and without AMC array integration. The measurement was performed in the indoor environment and in an anechoic chamber to validate the design based on reflection coefficient and radiation pattern measurements.
