“…Wearable materials are typically non-conductive and conductive textiles (electro-textiles). Non-conductive textile materials such as felt, silk, nylon, leather, wash cotton, denim, polymer, fleece, and paper are commonly utilized in the construction of wearable antennas to lower the weight and profile of the antenna [10][11][12][13][14].…”

Planar antennas have become an integral component in modern biomedical instruments owing to their compact structure, cost effectiveness, and light weight. These antennas are crucial in realizing medical systems such as body area networks, remote health monitoring, and microwave imaging systems. Antennas intended for the above applications should be conformal and fabricated using lightweight materials that are suitable for wear on the human body. Wearable antennas are intended to be placed on the human body to examine its health conditions. Hence, the performance of the antenna, such as its radiation characteristics across the operating frequency bands, should not be affected by human body proximity. This is achieved by selecting appropriate conformal materials whose characteristics remain stable under all environmental conditions. This paper aims to highlight the effects of human body proximity on wearable antenna performance. Additionally, this paper reviews the various types of flexible antennas proposed for biomedical applications. It describes the challenges in designing wearable antennas, the selection of a flexible material that is suitable for fabricating wearable antennas, and the relevant methods of fabrication. This paper also highlights the future directions in this rapidly growing field. Flexible antennas are the keystone for implementing next-generation wireless communication devices for health monitoring and health safety applications.

“…Furthermore, the design of wearable antennas need the understanding of electromagnetic properties of the material used on which the profile of the antenna generally depends on such as the permittivity, the loss tangent, and the thickness of the substrate used [12]. Wearable materials are generally the nonconductive and conductive textiles (electro-textile) Nonconductive textile material are usually used in the design of wearable antennas to reduce the weight and profile of the antenna such as felt [13], silk, nylon [14] and leather [15], wash cotton [16], Denim, Polymer, fleece and Paper are used as a substrate material [17,18]. Besides, due to the low dielectric constant Jeans [19], and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) [20], are widely used wearable substrate materials.…”

Wearable antennas are the vital components for Body Centric Communication (BCC). These antennas have recently gained the attention of researchers and have received a great deal of popularity due to their attractive characteristics and opportunities. They are fundamental in the Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) for health care, military, sports, and identification purposes. Compared to traditional antennas, these antennas work in close proximity to the human body, so their performance in terms of return loss, gain, directivity, bandwidth, radiation pattern, efficiency, and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is influenced by the coupling and absorption of the human body tissues. Additionally, in the design of these antennas, size, power consumption, and speed can also play a paramount role. In most cases, these antennas are integrated into the clothes, or in some cases, they may be fixed over the skin of the users. When these characteristics are considered, the design of wearable antennas becomes challenging, particularly when textile materials are examined, high conductivity materials are used during the manufacturing process, and various deformation scenarios have an impact on the design's performance. To enhance the overall performance of the wearable antennas and to reduce the backward radiation towards the human body, metamaterial surfaces are introduced that provide a high degree of isolation from the human body and significantly reduce the SAR. This paper discusses the state-of-the-art wearable/textile/flexible antennas integrated with metamaterial structures composed of wearable/flexible substrate materials, with a focus on single and dual band antenna designs. The paper also reviews the critical design issues, various fabrication techniques, and other factors that need to be considered in the design of wearable/textile/flexible antennas. All the designs presented in this work are of the recent developments in wearable technology. INDEX TERMS BCC, WBAN, SAR, metamaterial, and wearable/textile/flexible antennas I. INTRODUCTIONRecently, Body Centric Wireless Communication (BCWC) has become one of the most important parts of the fourth generation (4G) mobile communication systems. The fifth generation (5G) is an encouraging technology which will not only fulfil the need of a high data rate for mobile phones and similar devices but also enable incorporation with different high added value services [1]. The IEEE 802.15 standardization group has been established to standardize applications intended for on, off, and in-body communication due to the growing interest in antennas and wave propagation for body centric communication systems [2]. BCWC is a type of communication which is used to connect devices which are worn on or in the body, or between the two people in close proximity. It is further divided into three different categories according to the mean of communication, they are on-body, in-body and off-body communication [3][4][5]. On-body communication describes the wireless communication between the body-mou...
