Abstract
A general design of the coplanar waveguide excited IIFA, traditionally excited by a Microstrip or coaxial excitation is presented. This coplanar excitation permits the bandwidth improvement (from around 10% to 50%) by the creation of a new resonance on the ground plane. It makes also the antenna more suitable to body area network (BAN) context by facilitating the integration on textile fabric or clothes, and the limitation of body effect at the operation frequency. The antenna principle is analyzed and general designs are presented. As application; a solution of a meandered IIFA integrated on Denim substrate is realized. All results are validated through comparative simulations and measurements.
