Description
Summary:In this paper, the interaction between a single band textile dipole antenna with human body is examined under several bending conditions. The numerical simulations of the single band 0.9 GHz patch dipole antenna are performed by using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio. The Finite Integration Technique (FIT) method is utilized to determine the antenna performance. Results have clearly indicated that the human body has more prominent effect on the antenna resonant frequency if compared to antenna bending. However, bending of the antenna has caused the radiation to penetrate deeper into the muscle tissue compared to the normal flat antenna (fat tissue).
