Hi,
I am Nagabhushana RaoElectronics Engr
Studying Wearable Antenna Design.
I am a student of Mysore University. Need help in understanding the design of wearable UHF antenna.
Thanks

Wearable antennas are essentially any antenna that is specifically designed to operate while in use. Examples include smartwatches (which typically have integrated bluetooth antennas), glasses (such as Google Glass that have WIFI and GPS antennas), GoPro action cameras (which have wifi and bluetooth antennas, and are often subject to a user to get their images ) And even the Nike + sensor (which communicates to a smartphone via bluetooth, and is placed in a user's shoe). Usable antennas are becoming increasingly common in consumer electronics, and as such, this page is dedicated to describing the unique difficulties involved in the design of portable antenna.
The use of textiles to carry in the antenna segment has been increasing due to the recent miniaturization of wireless devices. A portable antenna should be part of the clothing used for communication purposes, which includes tracking and navigation, mobile computing, and public safety. This literature review aims to disclose this unconventional antenna technology and provides readers with the background of the portable antenna that would roughly include antenna specification, antenna material and analysis to be done to design portable antennas Appropriate. All designs presented are of recent development in wearable technology.
A wearable antenna system is presented for integration into cloths and shoes for communication purposes such as security and monitoring activities. Firstly a dipole antenna is designed to be placed in safety shoe. Next, the radiation characteristics of two array antennas are simulated for different positions in a sample shoe using a detailed simulation model with a homogeneous phantom foot. The performance of the communication link between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna is analyzed by investigating the antenna pattern in the far field at 2.45 GHz. Finally, a prototype of a dipole antenna is constructed and the return loss in A configuration worn by the body.
