Abstract

This paper presents the design and analysis of a compact ultra-wideband (UWB) textile antenna operating within the C-band, specifically at 5.8 GHz, with a wide bandwidth ranging from 4.46 GHz to 7.27 GHz. The antenna is designed on a Jeans dielectric substrate with dimensions of 16 mm × 10 mm × 0.78 mm. Its miniaturized design offers significant size reduction while achieving a high maximum gain of 4.9 dB and an impressive radiation efficiency of 99%. Our design is suitable for C-band applications, including WLAN, satellite communications, 5G networks, weather radar, fixed wireless access, and biomedical technologies like wireless body area networks (WBAN).
