摘要：In this paper, a simple Inset fed Microstrip patch
antenna for ISM band on laminated paper-based substrate is
presented for the first time. Paper has emerged as one of the low
costs, flexible, eco-friendly organic substrate which is
extensively used for wearable body area network (WBAN)
applications. But, one of the most important drawbacks of
paper-based substrate is that, it is hydrophilic which degrades
the performance characteristics of the designed antenna. To
mitigate the problem of performance degradation due to
ambient humidity of the environment and prolong the lifetime of
paper-based electronics, the designed antenna is printed on the
paper-based substrate laminated with transparent sheet. The
design of the antenna requires the RF characterization of paper
with lamination in terms of dielectric constant and loss tangent.
Two methods, a cavity perturbation and a transmission line
method are utilized for RF characterization of the laminated
paper-based substrate. Finally, an inset fed microstrip patch is
designed for 2.4 GHz which covers ISM band in free space. Also,
its performance characteristics in the vicinity of human body
(human arm) is analyzed in terms of SAR which is found to be
within the SAR limit provided by FCC guidelines. The
simulation and measurement results are in good agreement
which confirms the characterization of substrate and the
designed antenna is suitable for body area network.
