Textile Antenna for C-Band Satellite Communication Application

Abstract Now days the international activity increasing in body area networks (BANs), wireless personal are Networks (WPANs), and medical sensor networks. This has given rise interest in wearable antennas that are designed for operation on the human body, or the bodies of animals. In this paper a compact and flexible textile antenna works at 3.64 – 4.79 GHz for body centric wireless and C-band satellite Communication has been presented. Blue jeans fabric used as substrate material in this antenna which has relative permittivity 1.67 loss tangent of 0.01 and the thickness of jeans is 1 mm. The antenna has been designed and simulated using CST microwave Studio software.

Wearable antenna is mainly used in wireless network for mobile communication, navigation, medical field and military. flexible electronic or wearable systems require the integration of flexible antennas operating in specific frequency bands to provide wireless connectivity which is highly demanded by today’s information oriented society. The typical existing narrow bands for wireless system is WLAN (2.4–2.484 GHz/5.15-5.35/5.725–5.85 GHz), WiMAX (2.5–2.69 GHz/3.3-3.8 GHz/5.25-5.85 GHz), E band application (2–3 GHz) and C-band satellite communication (3.8-4.2GHz). Body centric wireless communication related to inter human and intra human connectivity for various medical and non medical applications. Firstly we have to study the function of wearable antennas which is divided On the Body and In the Bodyinto three categories, namely:
