Abstract

A new type of the wearable aperture-coupled patch antenna for 2.4 GHz wireless body area network (WBAN) application is proposed. The H-shaped slot in middle ground plane and rectangular ring microstrip feed line are optimized, so that it realizes the efficient electromagnetic coupling with the radiating element. The substrate layers are 2 mm thickness felt layers with relative permittivity of 1.2, and the other layers are copper foil tape (CFT) to ensure the performance of the antenna. Furthermore, the return loss, radiation pattern and gain are investigated in detail for the antenna under different bending curvature radius. Experimental results show a good agreement with simulation results.
