Ultra-Wideband Textile Antenna for Wearable Microwave Medical Imaging Applications

This article presents the design of a novel low-profile ultrawideband textile antenna for wearable microwave medical imaging systems. The proposed antenna is based on a monopole structure, where two triangles and a few parallel slots are cut at the bottom corners and top edge of the radiation patch, respectively, to achieve an optimized ultrawide bandwidth and a reduced size of the antenna.
