The proposed wearable microstrip patch Antenna with notched corners for enhanced multi-band performance was designed, simulated, fabricated, and analysed. This antenna, which operates in three frequency bands whereas first frequency band is 2.83 to 3.16 GHz, second frequency band is 6.33 to 6.76 GHz and third frequency band is 8.71 to 9.64 GHz. So, the suggested antenna is a multi-band antenna, widely employed in many different applications because of its small size, minimal profile, and simplicity of circuit integration. These frequency range falls within the microwave spectrum and is suitable for many wireless communication systems. To improve the antenna's performance, a rectangular patch was modified as rectangular frame with notched corners and a full ground surface. Additionally, using jeans fabrics as a substrate offers versatility, enabling the antenna to be incorporated into clothing. The proposed antenna was fabricated with the measurement of 38 mm 35 mm 1 mm. The above frequency bands are utilized for satellite communication, including telemetry, tracking, and control, also used in s-band, c-band and x-band. This multi-band antenna frequency range is integral to modern wireless communication systems and continues to be a focus for innovation, especially with the growth of IoT, 5G, and other emerging technologies.
