Abstract

In this article, an antenna design based on the printed patch of three strip lines which are excited with a microstrip line has been proposed and implemented for wearable telemedicine devices. The proposed antenna is fabricated using conductive copper tape of 35 µm thickness and printed on a flexible photo paper to suit the telemedicine applications. It has a physical dimension of 40 × 35 × 0.635 mm 3 for operation at the frequency of 2.45 GHz within ISM bands. The proposed antenna design is simulated and optimized by Computer Simulation Technology of Microwave Studio software (CSTMWS), and then it was experimentally validated. A good agreement between the simulated and measurements has been achieved. The proposed antenna performances in terms of radiation efficiency, radiation patterns, and return loss are evaluated. According to the obtained results, the proposed antenna shows an excellent computability to wearable telemedicine devices.
