Abstract :
A dual frequency band triangular patch antenna is presented fabricated on clothing materials. The antenna operates over the wireless network bands at 2.45 Hz and 5 GHz. To reduce back radiation the antenna was placed over an electromagnetic band gap surface. Back radiation was reduced by 10 to 15 dB while maintaining the impedance match over the frequency bands.
