Microstrip Spork Patch Antenna for Integration Into Wearable Textile Substrates for ISM Band Applications

Abstract

A Wearable textile antenna is meant to be a part of clothing used for communication purposes like tracking, navigation, mobile computing and public safety’s .The invention of wearable textile antenna exhibited the need for wireless communication tools into garments. A Spork shaped patch textile antenna is designed and simulated for the operation at Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band applications. The textile patch antenna is simulated using Computer Simulation technique software (CST), the textile material and patch provides the antenna to work in the frequency range of 2.4-5.8 GHz.These bands include designated frequency band of wireless standards IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.11b, Bluetooth, The designed antenna exhibits good radiation pattern, return loss, and gain for ISM band.
