Investigation on low profile ultra wide band antennas for wireless body area networks

Abstract

The demand for wearable technology has certainly grown in recent newlineyears and has resulted in innovative developments in various fields such as newlinehealthcare, public safety, and military applications. The use of wearable newlinedevices has become more prevalent as people seek to remain connected and newlinehave access to information at all times. newlineIn healthcare, wearable devices have become increasingly newlineimportant in the monitoring of patients, especially those with chronic newlineconditions. Wearable devices can track various vital signs such as heart rate, newlineblood pressure, and oxygen levels, which can help healthcare providers in the newlinediagnosis and treatment of their patients. newlineTextile substrate is an ideal material for designing wearable newlineantennas due to its flexibility and comfort. These antennas can be integrated newlineinto clothing and other wearable devices it can be used for various newlineapplications such as WiFi, WiMAX, Bluetooth, and biomedical. newlineThe demand for wearable technology has created opportunities for newlineinnovation and development in various fields, and wearable antennas based newlineon textile substrate are just one example of this. These antennas have the newlinepotential to improve healthcare outcomes and provide valuable data for a newlinerange of applications. newlineThe use of microstrip patch antennas in multiband applications is a newlinecommon approach, and the substrate material plays a significant role in newlinedetermining the bandwidth of the antenna. newline
