  • Abstract
    This paper presents a novel flexible wearable multi-band printed monopole antenna on a neoprene substrate. Bands covered are GSM 900 (890-960 MHz), DCS (1710- 1880 MHz), PCS (1850-1990 MHz), UMTS (1920-2170 MHz) and WLAN 2.4 GHz (2400-2484 MHz) bands. The antenna is optimised for performance on the body.
