Dual band G-shape wearable cuff button antenna for ISM bands applications

Abstract

In this paper, the study of the radiation performance of a dual-band wearable cuff button antenna is presented. The designed radiation structure has a metallic G-shaped layer connected with a cylindrical base through metallic cylindrical tube. The modeled design has the structure and the dimensions of a standard metallic cuff button. The proposed wearable antenna is designed to cover the dual ISM bands for both WLAN/Bluetooth (at 2.45 GHz) and Hiper LAN (at 5.8 GHz) applications with omni-directional radiation patterns that are required for data transmission with nearby located wearable devices or mounted on the human body.
