        abstract = {This study investigates the design and performance analysis of low-profile wearable microstrip patch antennas using three different substrate materials: FR-4, polyimide, and polystyrene. As wearable electronic devices continue to evolve, the demand for compact, flexible, and efficient antenna solutions has grown significantly. Each substrate offers distinct advantages—FR-4 provides mechanical strength and cost-effectiveness, polyimide ensures flexibility and thermal stability, while polystyrene contributes lightweight characteristics and a low dielectric constant. The antennas are modeled and simulated using electromagnetic design tools to evaluate key performance parameters such as return loss, bandwidth, gain, and radiation pattern. Comparative analysis highlights the influence of substrate properties on overall antenna performance, guiding the selection of suitable materials for specific wearable and wireless communication applications.},
