Abstract

In this paper, a wearable microstrip patch antenna using inter-digital capacitor (IDC) and rectangular stub for 802.11 b WLAN band applications is presented. The antenna is fabricated on an inexpensive polyester cloth substrate. The antenna resonates at 2.45 GHz with the bandwidth and gain of 41 MHz and 5 dBi respectively. The electrical dimension of proposed wearable antenna is 0.213 λ × 0.246 λ. The antenna has been fabricated, tested, and the measured results are presented in the paper. The equivalent circuit analysis of this antenna is also prepared, reported and reported in the paper.
