Abstract

Wearable innovation has risen as a sharply debated issue in recent years around the world and the enthusiasm for this segment keeps on creating and will also overwhelm later on. This investigation work shows a multi-resonance monopole microstrip patch antenna for body wearable applications. The proposed antenna works at multi frequencies for GSM band 235 MHz (1754–1989 MHz), ISM band 561 MHz (2283–2844 MHz) and C band 545 MHz (5174–4629 MHz) covering all requirements of body-centric wireless communication using on-body wearable antennas. In particular, the designing and investigation are concentrated upon the performance of on-body and off-body wearable antenna in terms of multi-frequency operation. The performance of the proposed antenna is explored using equivalent four-layered phantom model of the human body as far as reflection coefficient, radiation pattern, electric field pattern, gain and current density, all outcomes are in great understanding.
