<p><span>In this article, the dual band is achieved with J-slot on rectangular Textile antenna on Jeans fabric as substrate. It resonates at the 2.4 GHz and 5.4 GHz of Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) bands. The novel J-slot Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) array consists of 2x2 elements. It is used as superstrate of J-slot textile antenna for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) reduction and gain enhancement. The Reflection coefficient and VSWR of dual band textile antenna are simulated and measured with and without human body<strong>.</strong></span></p>

In this paper, Rectangular Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) Structure and multiple slots on patch are proposed to improve the gain and bandwidth of the Textile antenna. The EBG structure is sandwiched between the patch and the ground plane. A Single band textile antenna has a resonant frequency of 5 GHz used for IEEE802.11a Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) applications. Four slots are created on the hexagonal patch, so the patch shape appears like WiFi symbol. For this antenna, jeans fabric is used as substrate. The design is simulated using HFSS software.
