Abstract
The development of a compact, efficient, and multifunctional wearable antenna is specifically designed to support biotelemetry applications such as continuous physiological monitoring, remote diagnostics, and data transmission for medical purposes. The proposed antenna incorporates novel materials and design strategies, including high flexibility, a lightweight structure, and biocompatibility, ensuring comfort and wearability for long-term use. Optimization techniques, such as parameter variation, simulation-driven design, and fabrication considerations, are employed to achieve desirable radiation characteristics, minimal interference with body tissues, and optimal integration with wearable sensors. The antenna's gain, bandwidth, and operating frequency are all designed to minimize power consumption and satisfy the demanding needs of biotelemetry systems. The antenna is crafted from Polyimide Lossy material and has overall dimensions of 40 mm × 30 mm × 0.1 mm. The completed antenna has a 10 dB bandwidth that is centered at 2.4 GHz and functions at that frequency. According to simulation data, it has minimal effects on efficiency, bandwidth, gain, and reflection coefficient
