Abstract
This research presents a 60GHz compact and innovative shaped micro-strip patch antenna based on a textile substrate for body centric wireless communication. The textile substrate is comprised of 1.6mm thick hypalon coated dacron fabric, and the antenna has a partial ground. The antenna is designed like a circular disc, and inside the disc is my institution's logo, NSU. Computer simulation technology (CST) microwave studio software was used to develop and simulate the antenna. Simulated findings indicated that when the center frequency is 60GHz, the antenna achieves a high bandwidth in free space, with 76.53 percent radiation efficiency and a maximum gain of 7.89dBi. The antenna was simulated on a human torso phantom at five various distances for the on-body simulation. 2mm, 4mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm were the distances between the human torso phantom and the antenna. This design acquired the maximum bandwidth with the best gain and radiation efficiency for a distance of 12mm. Every aspect related to these observations has been demonstrated in the body of this text. Because of its compact size, textilebased substrate, and excellent on-body performance, this antenna will be a promising choice for body-centric wireless communication.
