A Compact Flexible Antenna with Hexagonal Slotted Line Feed for WiMAX and Hiper Lan Applications

The research paper presents a highperformance and flexible wearable antenna aimed to the C-band frequency band, and it relates to the wireless use applications with WiMAX and Hiper LAN. The low dielectric constant antenna has been fabricated on denim (jeans) textile substrate and is both mechanically flexible as well as body-worn communicator friendly. This proposed structure incorporates a line feed mechanism to provide good excitation and stable radiation properties. The structure is an antenna that has a circular radiating patch with embedded hexagonal slot that has a partial ground plane. Extensive results of simulation indicate that the antenna has a broad impedance bandwidth of 87.91 % effectively covering frequencies between 3.899 GHz and 10.008 GHz. These features render the suggested design a candidate of next-generation wearable wireless communication systems.
