Abstract

Recently, there has been a burgeoning demand for wireless health monitoring systems employing flexible wearable antennas to facilitate seamless communication between individuals and their healthcare providers. The principal objective of this scholarly investigation revolves around assessing the operational efficiency of an economically viable, fabric-based flexible wearable antenna design meticulously fashioned on denim, with a specific focus on its applicability in wireless health monitoring. The significant feature of thisantenna is its minimal physical size, measuring 50 mm × 35 mm × 1.0 mm, and it also draws attention as an antenna with excellent performance, boasting high efficiencies of approximately 96.7% at 2.44 GHz and 96.2% at 7.66 GHz. It exhibits commendable attributes in high gain and directivity, quantified at 4.32 dBi and 4.87 dBi, respectively, at a frequency of 7.66 GHz. The pivotal highlights of this ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna encompass its compact form factor, lightweight construction, cost-effectiveness, inherent flexibility, straightforward fabrication process, and seamless integration into clothing. These distinctive attributes underscore its suitability as a wearable human body antenna tailor-made for deployment within wireless body area network (WBAN) systems. Notably, both the simulation and measurement outcomes of the abovementioned antenna design corroborate its preeminence and suitability for WBAN applications, particularly in the context of ultrawideband operations.

Özet

Son zamanlarda, insanlarla sağlık hizmeti sağlayıcıları arasında sorunsuziletişimi kolaylaştırmak amacıyla esnek giyilebilir antenler kullanan kablosuz sağlıkizleme sistemlerine olan talep hızla artmaktadır. Bu bilimsel araştırmanın temelamacı, ekonomik olarak uygulanabilir, denim üzerine özenle tasarlanmış kumaştabanlı esnek giyilebilir bir anten tasarımının operasyonel verimliliğinideğerlendirmek, özellikle de kablosuz sağlık izleme alanındaki uygulanabilirliğineodaklanmaktadır. Bu antenin önemli bir özelliği, fiziksel boyutunun minimumolmasıdır ve 50 mm × 35 mm × 1.0 mm ölçülerindedir; ayrıca, 2.44 GHz ‘de yaklaşık%96.7 ve 7.66 GHz ‘de %96.2 gibi yüksek verimliliklere sahip olarak mükemmelperformans sergilemektedir. 7.66 GHz frekansında sırasıyla 4.32 dBi ve 4.87 dBiolarak ölçülen yüksek kazanç ve doğruluk özellikleri de dikkat çekicidir. Bu ultrageniş bant (UWB) antenin önemli vurguları, kompakt form faktörü, hafif yapısı,maliyet etkinliği, doğal esneklik, basit üretim süreci ve giyimle sorunsuzentegrasyonu içermektedir. Bu özel özellikler, onu kablosuz vücut alanı ağı (WBAN)sistemlerine özgü olarak özel olarak tasarlanmış bir giyilebilir insan vücut anteniolarak uygun kılan unsurları vurgular. Özellikle, yukarıda bahsedilen antentasarımının hem simülasyon hem de ölçüm sonuçları, özellikle ultra geniş bantoperasyonları bağlamında, WBAN uygulamaları için üstünlüğünü ve uygunluğunudoğrulamaktadır.
