Formula & Theory
λeff = λ / √εrThis formula is used to calculate antenna parameters for wearable antenna calculator.
Overview
Wearable Antenna Calculator supports microstrip & printed antennas planning with a practical calculation based on the displayed inputs.
Input Guide
Enter Frequency, Fabric Dielectric Constant (εr) exactly in the units shown by this wearable antenna. Check the operating band, unit prefix, and decimal position before calculating; these are the inputs used by the formula.
- Frequency — use GHz.
- Fabric Dielectric Constant (εr).
Output Guide
The results describe the calculated wearable antenna values for the inputs you entered. Check each value against the available space, selected components, feed system, and operating conditions before making a final design decision.
How This Calculator Works
The Wearable Antenna uses λeff = λ / √εr. Supply Frequency (GHz), Fabric Dielectric Constant (εr) in the displayed units, then use the calculated values as the first engineering target for this microstrip & printed antennas design or analysis.
Design Notes
Installed performance can vary with frequency, losses, tolerances, environment, and system configuration.
Build and Tuning Notes
Use the result as a starting point, then validate the completed system with measurement or simulation.
