Abstract :
This paper presents the design and analysis of spiral antenna for wearable application. The operating frequency of the spiral antenna directly depends on the length of the spiral. The proposed antenna has operating frequency range from 0.65 GHz to 1.49 GHz. The antenna exhibits Omni-directional radiation pattern in both E-plane and H-plane with the gain ranging from 3.02 dB to 6.82 dB. Simulation was carried out in Ansoft HFSS (version 13.0) software.
