A Compact and Flexible Dual-Band Antenna for Near-Body Applications
Résumé
A compact and flexible dual-band antenna for
near-body Internet of things (IoT) applications is presented.
Modified Inverted F-antenna (IFA) structure is employed as to
allow dual-band operation. Two thin films of Polycarbonate
(PC) and Polyurethane (PU) are used in order to provide
flexibility to the structure. The antenna covers incoming lower
5G (n18) and 915-MHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM)
bands and exhibits a maximum gain of -8.78 dBi. Moreover,
antenna matching is insensitive to near body influence.
