Abstract :
In the paper the analysis of the influence of textile antenna location on its radiation pattern is presented. The analysis is based on a textile Vee type antenna proposed by the author that operates in 2.4 GHz ISM band. It was made with textile base material and conducting fibers that were embroidered to form the radiator. The antenna radiation pattern for on-body location is firstly examined with computer simulations in XFdtd program. The computer simulation results are then verified with measurements. Performance of the textile antenna is compared with a standard dipole antenna that is easily available for 2.4 GHz band.
