Abstract :
A compact wide band planar textile antenna for broadband application is presented. The increasing demand in wearable personal area networks in civil, medical, sport wear and military domains promise to replace wired communication networks in the near future. Thus, it is a challenging task today to explore body mounted antenna system for various monitoring applications. In this article, we have design a microstrip fed wide band textile antenna which operates from 2.1GHz to 9.1 GHz band. Here, the performance of this antenna in terms of resonance frequency, return loss and radiation pattern is analyzed and measured. The measured results are in good agreement with simulated one.
