Truncated Patch Antenna on Jute Textile for Wireless Power Transmission at 2.45 GHz

Jute textile is made from natural fibres and is known for its strength and durability. To determine if jute could be used as a substrate for microstrip antennas, its electromagnetic characteristics (permittivity and loss tangent) are measured in the band of 1 GHz to 5 GHz. The obtained data are used to compare the performances of a simple rectangular patch antenna resonating at 2.45 GHz on jute with others using different textiles as a substrate. Comparing the simulation results gives an idea of using jute as a substrate for microstrip antennas. In the second part of this paper, a truncated patch antenna on jute is studied to be used for wireless power transmission at 2.45 GHz. The antenna was simulated and then fabricated. The measured reflection shows a shift in the resonance frequency compared to the simulated one. The frequency shift is explained, and a solution is proposed to correct it; a second antenna was fabricated and measured.
