Wearable Antenna using Foam Substrate for Multiband Application

Abstract

The novel and flexible antenna for modern communication system is studied in this paper. The proposed antenna is compact in size, shows high directivity and large bandwidth. Polystyrene foam material is used as a substrate because such antenna is bendable, wearable, inexpensive, require less attention and having good features like low dielectric constant, low loss tangent and better efficiency. The parameters of antenna such as reflection coefficient, gain, bandwidth, radiation pattern is analyzed.

Keywords: Polystyrene foam, copper tape, CST, reflection coefficient, directivity
