摘要:
This work introduces a triple-band all-textile monopole antenna with coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed and enhanced gain to be utilized in the wearable Internet of Medical Things (IMoT) applications to support wireless wearable sensors for vital sign monitoring on the human body. The proposed antenna was backed by an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) array structure, which presents an effective triple operational frequency band. The proposed antenna was fabricated using a 30 x 30 mm felt material substrate. This antenna has good characteristics for wearable communication applications, which is light in weight, small in profile, and comfortable to wear. The proposed antenna was operated at 2.4, 3.5, and 5.8 GHz for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM), 5G, and wireless local area network (WLAN) applications. A compact antenna design was specifically engineered to suit the rigorous standards demanded by intricate subsystems operating in those frequency bands for IoMT and 5G applications.
