Hardware implementation and optimization of a dual band textile antenna

Abstract

This paper proposed a dual band wearable textile antenna to achieve high gain with partial ground. In this antenna jeans fabric has been used as a substrate whose permittivity is 1.7 and patch has been made by copper adhesive tape. The benefits of jeans are long wearing, cost effective, flexible and needs less care. This anticipated antenna provides gain of 4.260dBi at 4.8265GHz and 5.103 at 7.2997GHz.Simulated and measured reflection coefficient, directivity and radiation characteristics have been studied. The designing and simulation of this antenna is being done by utilizing CST Microwave Studio software.
