Abstract
A single-feed rectangular-ring textile antenna is proposed for wireless body area networks operating in the 2.45 GHz ISM band. The conductive parts of the planar antenna consist of FlecTron®, whereas fleece fabric is used as non-conductive antenna substrate. This results in a highly efficient, flexible and wearable antenna to be integrated in garments. The robustness of the antenna characteristics with respect to bending is proven.Keywords
