Abstract
In this study, a novel textile fractal antenna is designed and optimized using genetic algorithm for super-wideband applications. The antenna design is based on the iterations of triangular–circular patch and a partially modified elliptical ground plane. Results show that the proposed antenna presents impedance bandwidth (return loss < −10 dB) covering the range of frequencies from 1.4 to 20 GHz. The present design mainly focuses on the current trends in the development of wireless body area networks for many wireless communications such as GPS, PCS-1900, IMT-2000/UMTS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and UWB applications.
