A Compact and Low Profile UWB All-Textile Antenna for WBAN Applications
This paper presents the compact and low-profile textile monopole antenna for WBAN applications. The antenna structure consists of an octagonal patch connected with microstrip feed line. The ground plane is an opposite side of radiating patch. The felt fabric with dielectric constant of 1.4 and the thickness of 1 mm is selected as substrate while the copper-nickel plated polyester fabric is used as conductive material. The operating frequency of proposed antenna covers the ultra-wideband (UWB) from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz, which provides the compact size of 35× 40 mm<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup>. The antenna gives like omni-radiation pattern over the entire frequency band.
