Abstract

In this paper we represent an ultra-wide band wearable textile antenna for body area network. The proposed antenna consists of a decagonal radiating patch and a partial ground plane with a square slot. For textile antenna, the textile materials and the planer shapes provide a smooth integration into clothing while preserving the characteristic properties of the textile. The ultra-wide band for these types of antenna is achieved by optimizing the geometry and by introducing a square slot on the ground plane and E shaped slot in the radiating patch. The volume of the proposed antenna is 2656.8 mm3 and the bandwidth is 16.43 GHz from 3.37 to 19.8 GHz. The minimmum return loss, S11 is found –40.8 dB at 4.55 GHz. The design details and the simulated results are presented by commercial electromagnetic simulation package CST Microwave Studio 2015.
