Design and Fabrication of Multi-band Wearable Fractal Antenna for Telehealth Applications

Abstract

In this paper, a Multi-band Wearable Fractal Antenna is fabricated for Telehealth Applications. The projected antenna substrate is made from a flexible Jeans textile material. The dielectric properties of this textile can be measured by two different methods. Also, a folded copper tape is used to fabricate the projected wearable antenna. Further, the projected antenna under the bent conditions is studied in details. The specific absorption ratio (SAR) is also studied in this paper. The projected antenna is simulated by CST simulator version 2018 and measured by Agilent8719ES VNA. Finally, there is a large convergence between the measured and the simulation results.
