Abstract :
A textile co-planar monopole antenna is designed with electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure for on body communication system of a spacesuit. The monopole antenna has -10dB bandwidth from 2.8 GHz to 10 GHz. The communication system is designed for 5.8 GHz band. The antenna gain at 5.8 GHz has been improved by 3.55dB by introducing EBG. Simulation results are shown for the single antenna, antenna integrated with the EBG, and when the antenna with EBG is placed on the part of the chest of the spacesuit.
