Embroidered Annular Elliptical E-Textile Antenna Sensor for Knee Effusion Diagnosis

Arpan H. Shah et al.

Summary: This article presents the design of a wearable textile antenna sensor for knee effusion diagnosis application. The antenna sensing patch region is embroidered using an automated computerized embroidery machine, while the design parameters were optimized using machine learning algorithms. The fabricated antenna sensor operates at a resonance frequency of 2.19 GHz and performs diagnosis based on the concept of reflection coefficient parameter. Additionally, the specific absorption rate (SAR) level of the sensor device is evaluated and kept below the safety limit value.
