Abstract
In this paper, we present the performance of a dual-band textile CPW antenna under different bending and crumpling conditions. The performance of the antenna is presented together with an electromagnetic band gap material (EBG) to improve the wearable antenna performance. The input impedance and radiation pattern are investigated based on numerical and experimental methods at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz.
