Popis: | In this communication, the simulation and experimental results of a novel wideband wearable circularly polarized textile antenna for low-power transmission in the 2.45 GHz ISM band are presented. The wide impedance and axial ratio bandwidths make it perfect for low microwave power transmission to a wearable sensor system. The antenna is flexible, robust and light weight so that it can be easily integrated into clothes. It is shown that the circularly polarized textile antenna has a 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth of 564 MHz (23%) and a -10dB impedance bandwidth of 1086 MHz (44%) on a human body with the maximum gain of 4.9 dBic. Lastly, the textile antenna is employed on the battery-less temperature sensor system on a human arm to demonstrate the effective power transmission over a metre distance. |
