Abstract
In this study, a slot-based micro strip antenna for wearable applications is designed, simulated, and manufactured on a FR4 substrate. The antenna has a rectangular patch with a slot in the middle to achieve impedance matching and radiation efficiency. It is made to function in the 5 GHz ISM band. Standard PCB manufacturing procedures are employed to create the antenna, and the FR4 substrate material was selected for its affordability and availability. This work conducts in-depth literature research to design patch antennas for wearable applications. Using the ANSYS HFSS Package, a slot-based microstrip patch antenna for use at 5 GHz is built based on the findings from the data acquired in the survey. To obtain the desired radiation properties, the Patch has many U-slots. On a FR4 EPOXY substrate with a 4.4 dielectric constant, the suggested antenna is constructed. For the suggested antenna, a number of antenna properties, including return loss, radiation pattern, bandwidth, directivity, antenna gain, radiation efficiency, etc., are studied. The suggested antenna has a reflection coefficient of less than -30 dB at 5 GHz. At resonance, the antenna generates a gain of 2.08 db.
