An Inverted U-Shaped Dual-Band MIMO Textile Antenna for WBAN and 5G Applications

The Microstrip Patch Antenna is a low-profile radio antenna that can be mounted on a flat surface. It's a narrow-band and wide-beam fed antenna made by etching, with a metal trace pattern attached to a dielectric substrate such as a printed circuit board. A continuous metal layer forms a ground plane on the substrate's opposite side. The main objective of this project is to design, develop, and test a Microstrip Patch Antenna suitable for use at a 5 GHz frequency. The study emphasizes using HFSS software to simulate and analyze the antenna's radiation pattern, gain, directivity, and efficiency. The proposed MIMO antenna is also evaluated for robustness under different bending configurations. The simulation and experimental results show a satisfactory agreement in both planar and bending conditions. The MIMO antenna achieves good impedance bandwidth at the 5 GHz frequency, which is significant for its performance in practical applications.
