Abstract :
In this paper, a slot antenna on a textile integrated waveguide is presented. Denim has been employed as the substrate filling the waveguide containing the antenna. The intention is to use the antenna as part of the clothing, where there is sufficient space to accommodate large devices but there are limitations in the thickness of the outfit. The antenna design proposed aims to be mounted into a belt and operates at the higher wireless LAN band.
