Abstract

In this paper, a novel structure of wearable antenna using clothing materials, suitable for wearable application has been presented. The substrate of the designed antenna was made of textile material, while radiating element and ground plane are made out of copper tape. To design a novel wearable flexible antenna which has high gain, efficiency, good return loss. Improvement in the design is done by increasing the electrical length and area without increasing the size of the antenna. The simulations were carried out using CST Microwave Studio software and the comparison of measured and simulated results of proposed antenna have been studied. Measured and simulated results are in excellent agreement.Keywords: Antenna, textile materials, wearable, CST microwave
