Design of a Wearable Textile Antennas for Body Centric Wireless Communication and Performance Analysis at Different Textile Materials

Abstract

In this paper, we have presented a circular micro-strip patch antenna with radiation characteristics which is suitable for on-body communications. Eight different types of textile materials is tested along with circular micro strip patch antenna to observed antenna performance and also modified the antenna design. These designed antennas are operated at 2.4 GHz ISM band frequency. Using CST simulation tool Return losses, Radiation Patterns, S-Parameters is measured to analyze the antenna performances
