A Printed Wearable Dual-Band Antenna for Wireless Power Transfer

Sensors (Basel). 2019 Apr 11;19(7):1732. doi: 10.3390/s19071732.

Abstract

In this work, a dual-band printed planar antenna, operating at two ultra-high frequency bands (2.5 GHz/4.5 GHz), is proposed for wireless power transfer for wearable applications. The receiving antenna is printed on a Kapton polyimide-based flexible substrate, and the transmitting antenna is on FR-4 substrate. The receiver antenna occupies 2.1 cm 2 area. Antennas were simulated using ANSYS HFSS software and the simulation results are compared with the measurement results.
