Design and Analysis of Textile Antenna using EBG Structure

Abstract

In this article, the rectangular textile antenna is embedded with E-shape Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) Structure for reduction of SAR. It is positioned on human phantom model. The E-shape EBG array is positioned between ground and patch of rectangular textile antenna. It is resonant at 2. 4GHz.The substrate material for the rectangular Textile antenna is jeans cloth. The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), Reflection coefficient and Impedance Bandwidth are obtained with and without EBG structure using HFSS software and also measured.
