Abstract

This study presents the design and simulation of a microstrip patch antenna using polyimide as a flexible substrate, making it wellsuited for wearable medical applications. The antenna operates at a resonant frequency of 4.143 GHz, achieving a return loss (S11) of -37.17 dB and a VSWR of 1.028, indicating excellent impedance matching and performance. Copper is used for both the ground and patch to enhance efficiency and conductivity. The proposed design is optimized for compact, cost-effective integration into RF-based wearable devices for noninvasive glucose monitoring. The results demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing flexible microstrip patch antennas in biomedical applications, offering a promising approach for continuous and real-time health monitoring. Future work will focus on further optimizing the antenna’s design and exploring its practical implementation in wearable sensor systems.
