A novel wearable textile dual-band antenna configuration based on a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity is presented. The miniaturization of the antenna is achieved by exploiting the magnetic field symmetry of a square SIW cavity, reducing its size to 1/8 of the full square cavity with an eighth-mode SIW configuration. This solution is applied to the design of a wearable dual-band antenna for Long Range (LoRa) applications. The antenna operating frequency covers both the UHF LoRa bands, the European (863-870 MHz) and the North American (902-928 MHz). The proposed design provides a low-cost and compact antenna, which is easy to fabricate and ensures a very good isolation and robustness with respect to the human body proximity. The commercial software CST Studio Suite has been used for the antenna design and simulations. A prototype has been fabricated and the measured results are in good agreement with numerical simulations.

Abstract
A novel wearable textile dual-band antenna configuration based on a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity is presented. The miniaturization of the antenna is achieved by exploiting the magnetic field symmetry of a square SIW cavity, reducing its size to 1/8 of the full square cavity with an eighth-mode SIW configuration. This solution is applied to the design of a wearable dual-band antenna for Long Range (LoRa) applications. The antenna operating frequency covers both the UHF LoRa bands, the European (863-870 MHz) and the North American (902-928 MHz). The proposed design provides a low-cost and compact antenna, which is easy to fabricate and ensures a very good isolation and robustness with respect to the human body proximity. The commercial software CST Studio Suite has been used for the antenna design and simulations. A prototype has been fabricated and the measured results are in good agreement with numerical simulations.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
