Abstract

Huge processing and complex body area Networks (BAN) will be needed in the future to provide the powerful computational functionalities required for advanced applications. These requirements have led to increasing research activities in the area of wireless BAN. This paper presents the analysis of rectangular shaped inset feed microstrip patch flexible pure textile antenna for conductive textile material patch and ground with common substrate are used for wireless communication. The flexible pure textile antenna was simulated using ADS 2013.06 software and measured in N9926A 14 GHz Field Fox Handheld Vector Network Analyzer for the ISM band operated at the resonant frequency of 2.45 GHz. To analyze its performance, conductive textile material Nickel copper rip stop fabric and denim textile material as substrate was chosen. The design specification carried out by transmission line model method using inset feed techniques. The flexible pure textile antenna was analyzed in both off and on body mode of BAN operation and compared by the performance parameters like VSWR, reflection coefficient, bandwidth, impedance, directivity and gain.
