“…Wearable PIFA was first introduced in the year 1999 for operation at 2.45 GHz [12]. Since then a number of researches with wearable PIFA antennas considering single band [13, 14], multi-band [15–17], broadband [18] operations were reported. Again for all the PIFA antennas reported above, single polarization characteristics were discussed only.…”

A planar inverted F-Antenna with the dual band-dual polarization property is presented for medical body area networks applications. The designed antenna covers the 2.45 GHz industrial, scientific and medical, 4 G long term evolution (2.5–2.69 GHz) bands for ON body communication and Wi-Fi and WLAN (3.5–3.6 GHz) bands for OFF body communication. At the lower band, an equivalent offset fed magnetic microstrip type dipole has been utilized that generate field parallel to the surface of the body for supporting ON body communication. The broadside radiation pattern has been realized using the slotted patch counterpart for supporting OFF body communication. This technique has resulted in a design of dual band dual mode property using a single radiator. The footprint of the antenna is only 0.35λg× 0.17λg× 0.08λg. Owing to its compactness, lightweight, and easy mountable property (due to foam substrate), the proposed antenna is found to be robust for MBAN applications. The maximum permissible transmitted power for the 1st band is 25.78 and 20.3 dBm for the 2nd one to maintain standard specific absorption rate limitations of 1.6 W/Kg. Experimental investigations over human body showed minimal deviations from the free space conditions which makes it a potential candidate for body-centric communications.

Having the merits of being light-weight, energy efficient, in addition to low manufacturing cost, reduced fabrication complexity, and the availability of inexpensive flexible substrates, flexible and wearable technology is being established as an appealing alternative to the conventional electronics technologies which are based on rigid substrates. Furthermore, wearable antennas have been a topic of interest for more than the past decade, and hundreds of scientific papers can be found on the subject. This large number of publications asks for some classification in order to get an overview of the trends and challenges. To this aim, an overview of antennas for wearable technologies is proposed. This chapter is organized into three major sections. In the first part, a detailed review of wearable antennas is presented. The second part of this project deals with the flexible antennas parameters and families. Materials and fabrication methods are discussed in the third part. Wearables advantages, disadvantage and challenges are summarized in the last section.
