Abstract: The suggested system utilizes an inverted F metal zipper to act as an antenna. Here we have proposed an antenna which is designed using HFSS software in order to assure safety of women. The antenna design is carried out in three layers namely Ground plane, substrate and patch. Copper is used as ground and patch and substrate is made of FR4 material. The feeding point is identified at the bottom of the zipper, nearby one of the teeth. Simulations and measurements are made with HFSS. Changes in the radiations styles and the reflections coefficients happens when there is any disturbance in the teeth. The zipper constantly remains closed. The antenna will function even if the zipper is partially opened or closed. The suggested model remains as reconfigurable, particularly for radiation styles and also possess high gain value. The measured values give proper results based on simulations in terms of matching functionalities and radiation properties for the designed zipper, which acts as a good wireless product for women safety. This antenna design can be used in various applications when it is interfaced with some embedded system devices like GPS in order to find the location of the affected person and the material onto which it is going to be placed can also be made flexible that is, it can be used as Zip in dress material, hand bag, or can also be worn as an ornament.
