“A Fully-Textile Highly Efficient Antenna for wearable applications”

Abstract

With the rapid evolution of wireless communication technology in the last years, the need for wearable antenna with high efficiency and gain is increased. There are problems that will face the antenna design. Being a wearable antenna means it will radiate directly to the human body which affect in health condition so reducing the specific absorption rate (SAR) is highly demanded. Also, the antenna should be flexible to achieve the user’s comfortability so research on different materials with their properties has been made and the textile materials have been used to achieve this term. So, this project will fix the aforementioned problems and their solutions have been discussed with different techniques in order to get a flexible antenna with an improved bandwidth, gain and efficiency to be used in many fields such as medical field, sport field and military field. It also used in many applications such as google glass and smart watches.
