Design Of A Flexible Waterproof Antenna For Internet Of Things Applications
JOURNAL OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES AND APPLICATIONS(2021)
摘要
We propose a new broadband flexible waterproof antenna suitable for Internet of Things applications. The antenna is comprised of three components: radiating elements fed by a 50-ohm coplanar waveguide transmission line and two layers from an elastomer composite (used as a substrate and top encapsulation) which completely covers the antenna's radiating elements to provide water and dust resistance. An antenna prototype is fabricated and tested. Experimental and numerical results show that the proposed antenna has broad bandwidth (|S-11| <= -10 dB) over the frequency range of 0.83-2.52 GHz, high radiation efficiency of about 92% and good radiation patterns. The antenna was also immersed into water for 10 s, 10, 30 and 60 min, respectively and reflection coefficient magnitudes were measured, to verify its waterproof capability. The durability and flexibility tests were performed on the antenna prototype. Results show that there is no significant degradation in the antenna performance.
