MINIATURIZATION OF MICROSTRIP ANTENNA

ABSTRACT

In recent years, wireless smart systems have rapidly emerged in areas such as healthcare and activity monitoring with applications in outpatient monitoring and the provision of in-home lifelines for the elderly. Wireless sensor motes operating in the 433 MHz industrial scientific and medical (ISM) band are a popular choice for low data rate applications and provide a good communication range due to reduced body absorption when compared to higher frequencies. Small and lightweight sensor realisations are key constraints for unobtrusive monitoring and an example of a 433 MHz sensor device is presented in measuring 25 mm2 in size excluding the antenna. A λ0/4 resonant antenna at 433 MHz would require dimensions of 170 mm excluding a ground plane.

Proposed System:


To designs a compact, planar antenna operating at 433 MHz for wireless smart systems printed on a low-cost FR4 material. Significant size reduction can be achieved using a square-spiral section and rectangular patch element. For the intended application, the goal is to realise a wrist-worn sensor with an area of 5 0× 30 mm2.Sensor and radio transceiver electronics can be accommodated above the ground plane.
