Abstract EN
A circularly polarized (CP) wearable antenna based on the FDM (fused deposition modeling) technology is proposed.
Conductive fabric is used to realize conductive parts of the patch antenna on the NinjaFlex substrate.
The antenna is encapsulated with additional layers of NinjaFlex.
Modified patch ensures the CP character at 2.45 GHz.
Bending and washing tests are conducted to check the performance stability, and good agreement between simulated and measured results is observed.
The experimental results illustrate that the antenna holds 11% 10 dB S11 bandwidth and around 70 MHz 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth.
In addition, surface current analysis is also given to understand the operating mechanism of CP wave.
