  • Abstract
    In this paper, a wearable antenna for wireless local area network (WLAN: IEEE 802. 11a, n −5.725 GHz ~ 5.825 GHz) band applications using a stacked square ring patch element is proposed. It consists of a micro strip line with indirect feeding method and a stacked square ring patch. It is designed on a flexible printed circuit board (PCB). The proposed antenna shows good characteristics such as a WLAN band, a backward wave reduction, a suitable gain and a SAR value below international standard, etc. Thus it can be applied to the antenna of wearable systems.
