Abstract

In this research work, a flexible metamaterial inspired antenna is proposed. The substrate is made of polyamide making it bendable. The stepwise detail analysis is discussed, and the antenna has two complimentary split resonators with circular ring placed in the ground plane. A superstrate along with an EBG structure is added in the final design. Mathematical modelling is done to prove metamaterial structure. To test the on-body results, first the permittivity of different fabrics is measured using DSL-01 (SES Instruments Pvt. Ltd). Phantom solution is required to test In-Body (Implantable) results.
