This paper presents a low-profile tapered slot antenna (TSA) designed for wearable military applications, offering a compact, lightweight, and flexible solution for tactical communication systems. The antenna operates over a wide frequency range, ensuring compatibility with various military communication bands. It is designed using a flexible substrate, enabling seamless integration with wearable gear while maintaining stable performance under bending conditions. Advanced miniaturization techniques are employed to achieve a low-profile structure without compromising gain or efficiency. Experimental results confirm stable impedance matching, high gain, and low cross-polarization levels. The designed single element of Vivaldi antennas has been fabricated. The return loss response and radiation patterns of the constructed antennas and the Single Element Antenna are measured and compared to simulated findings. The fabricated antenna provides a return loss of – 23 dB and a gain of 8 dB, which is suitable for wearable military applications. The robust design withstands harsh environmental conditions, making it ideal for field operations. This work provides a promising solution for next-generation wearable communication systems |
