Abstract :
This paper presents the performance of two pure textile antennas under different bending and crumpling conditions. The characteristics of a wearable microstrip patch antenna is investigated and compared with a dual-band wearable CPW antenna. The input impedance and radiation pattern are investigated based on numerical and experimental methods at 2.4 GHz.
