Wetness experiment for compact CPW-fed ultra wideband antenna using textile material

The design of coplanar waveguide-fed ultrawide-band antenna with elliptical structure is presented that will cover from 1.6GHz to 13.5 GHz frequency band. Denim material have been selected as the substrate of textile antenna due to its thickness and permittivity. Different conducting part of antenna; copper tape and Shieldit fabric are compared and analyzed to evaluate the performance of antenna with different conducting material. The wetness experiment is required to investigate the performance of antenna in wet condition. The result of return loss will describe the performance of antenna in wet condition in this experiment.
