Modelling, Simulation and Experimental Analysis of a Metal-Polymer Hybrid Fibre based Microstrip Resonator for High Frequency Characterisation

Conductive multifilament fibres are the fundamental core for wearable technology in the biomedical engineering fields, as conductors in sensors or in bio-sensing textiles for healthcare. This contribution presents a model, simulation and the experimental analysis of a metal-polymer hybrid fibre based microstrip resonator for high frequency characterisation. The high frequency electromagnetic field simulation (HFSS) by ANSYS® is used for the modelling and finite element based simulation. It follows the design and manufacturing of the metal-polymer hybrid fibre based microstrip resonator for analysis of the scattering parameter measurements and the quality factors to 10 GHz with a vector network analyser (VNA) by Rohde & Schwarz®. Simulations and analysis also compare solid matter wire with the metal-polymer hybrid fibre.
