        abstract = {This research presents the design and development of a wearable horn-shaped textile antenna for medical and wireless applications in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band. The antenna is constructed using a denim substrate with a thickness of 0.56 mm, ensuring flexibility and user comfort. The study explores the effects of slot modifications and substrate size variations to optimize resonance frequencies, impedance matching, and gain performance.
A meta-material-based unit cell structure is incorporated at the back of the antenna to minimize electromagnetic radiation absorption by the human body, thereby improving Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values. Simulations and experimental measurements confirm the antenna’s resonance at 2.45 GHz (WiFi and ISM band), 3.04 GHz, 3.9 GHz (WiMax), and 6.56 GHz (C-band). The antenna achieves a peak gain of 4.74 dB at 2.45 GHz and demonstrates stable radiation characteristics in both on-body and off-body environments.
Compared to existing textile antennas, the proposed design offers superior multiband performance while maintaining a compact and flexible form factor. The findings indicate that the antenna is well-suited for wearable healthcare monitoring, wireless body area networks (WBANs), and IoT-based medical applications.},
