Abstract

A leaf-shaped dual band dipole textile antenna is proposed for on-body application. The antenna is designed to operate at Ultra High Frequency (UHF) range frequency at 1.8 GHz and 2.6 GHz. Denim substrate was used as the material due to its robustness, flexibility and lightweight. The antenna design is simulated, optimized and analyzed using Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Microwave Studio software and Voxel. Copper tape and ShieldIT fabric were used as conductive elements. Simulated result shows that the proposed antenna design meets the requirements of dual band antenna for on-body application. The proposed antenna is compact in size and flexible materials. Results in terms of return loss, bandwidth, radiation pattern, as well as gain are presented to validate the performance of the antenna.
