Abstract
A robust antenna which designed on fully textile material is presented. A denim jean textile is used as the dielectric substrate while the radiating elements are using conductive shieldit super textile. The simulated operating bandwidth of the antenna is 4540 MHz with maximum −10 dB reflection coefficient magnitudes of 1.46–6 GHz. The antenna has bi-directional radiation pattern and provides simulated gain values that fluctuate between 1.5 to 7 dBi at the entire frequency range. This antenna which operates in the mentioned wideband frequency is highly acceptable for microwave imaging application. In addition, the capability of the textile material to be formed into flexible shape such as bending will be an advantage of its use in flexible microwave imaging purpose.
