“…Moreover, such an antenna is very robust to the presence of the human body, since the performance remains stable even when it is placed in direct contact of the human skin. Another full-textile UWB antenna, with ground plane and unidirectional radiation pattern, was envisioned by Samal et al [41] in 2014. This antenna consists of a planar patch structure on a textile substrate made of felt.…”

“…Among these different antenna types, the microstrip topology antenna [1][2][3][4][5] has attracted a lot of attentions because it has a low profile, low cost, lightweight, simple installation, and conformability to planar and nonplanar surfaces [6,7]. However, the patch and the ground of the textile antenna are exposed outside and hence may be destroyed because of the aging or be cut or may break abruptly, and so forth, so that the performance will change.…”

“…At present, there are two known ways to fabricate the wearable antenna: one is the inject-printed technique [5] and the other is conductive thread [1][2][3][4]. It is clear that the injectprinted layer is very similar to that of the solid one.…”

“…These lead to the textile looking like a solid one so that it is reasonable to imitate it by the conventional design. Besides, the conventional antenna can be made into textile one using the methods mentioned in [1][2][3][4][5]8]. Therefore, in this paper, the broken situation is imitated by slicing the ground plane of the conventional patch antenna.…”

To imitate the broken situation of the conductive threads of the wearable antenna, a strip-ground design of rectangular patch antenna with the conventional substrate is presented to investigate the change of the antenna performance, where the ground is sliced along its -plane. The strips are symmetrical along the center line of the width of the patch, and the gap ratio of the gap to the solid ground varies with the change of gaps. The conventional patch antenna is used as a reference for comparison with the stripe-ground antennas. And the effect of the coaxial cable, the changes of the impedance, and the cross-polarization of the antenna are investigated. Several antenna prototypes are fabricated and their measured results are in good agreement with the simulations. These results show that the gaps change the performance of the strip-ground antennas, but they can work well if the gap ratio is less than 1 : 4.

“…On top of that, textile antennas are also cheap, light, and can operate in a wide range of frequencies. For example, the fully Ultra Wideband (UWB) all-textile is designed using felt fabric in WBAN application [14], 2.45 and 5.2 GHz Sierpinski inverted-F antenna is designed using polyester fleece substrate for various future 802.15 wireless standard [15] and 2.45 GHz dual polarized patch antenna is designed using flexible protective foam with fully integration into protective garment [16].…”

Abstract-One of the most important aspects for body centric communication is the development of the textile antenna for on-body communication. Antennas for on-body environment usually suffer performance degradation caused by the human body. Apart from that, textile antenna gets easily bent, flexed, wrinkled or wet. This paper presents an investigation on three different designs and types of planar antennas, which are single band textile dipole antenna, fractal Koch multiband dipole antenna and monopole ultra wide band antennas. The performance of the antennas has been evaluated in terms of bending, wetness condition and on-body simulation. The results show that the bending effect is not critical in free space for the planar antennas, but the performance is notably degraded under wet condition while the antenna reflection coefficient is shifted when placed on the human body.
