Abstract:
This work validates a wideband antenna that can be worn for medical telematics. The flag-shaped antenna constructed of the RT-duroid material with the modified ground is 34 mm by 22 mm by 0.8 mm. In order to increase the operational bandwidth and decrease the resonant frequency of a typical rectangular patch, rectangular slots are added to the partial ground plane. Providing an impedance bandwidth (-10dB) of 200 MHz, the design works at 2.48 GHz. The suggested antenna retains high efficiency (93% at 2.49 GHz) and gain (2.50 dBi). High efficiency, moderate gain, and simple design are the primary contributions.
