Slotted Hexagonal Ultrawideband Microstrip Antenna (SHUMA) for Telemetry Applications

The fields of biomedicine and healthcare have recently shown a great deal of interest in the investigation of flexible wireless devices. Human bodies produce a tremendous amount of information. Therefore, we present a small, slotted hexagonal patch antenna for use in biomedical applications. Lightweight and semi-flexible Rogers RT duroid 5880 material is used in the antenna’s construction. The incorporation of slots and partial ground structure aided in boosting the operating performance of the antenna. Using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software, the proposed antenna’s performance is evaluated in terms of bandwidth, return loss, gain, radiation pattern, directivity, total efficiency, and power.
