Abstract

Planar antennas gained great attention due to their compactness, lightweight, and low cost. They can use wearable devices for the human body to monitor health conditions. In this study, we designed a planar antenna that operates in a 2.45 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band with a layer (at the bottom of the antenna) both to improve antenna characteristics and to reduce specific absorption rate (SAR) values. The related layer was designed as a frequency-selective surface (FSS). The FSS layer helps to reduce the SAR value at an optimized distance from the antenna. Furthermore, the FSS structures and designed antenna were tested for bending conditions. The FSS structures successfully decreased SAR values at a high rate.
