Abstract

A wearable textile circular ring slot antenna based on a substrate integrated waveguide cavity is presented. In this paper, the focus is on studying and understanding the technical behavior of the SIW textile antenna when located near the human body. Thus, based on the electrical properties of conductive material and the dielectric characteristics of the Felt substrate, a 5.5GHz electro-textile antenna was designed. The proposed antennas are simulated in free space, while the performance of antenna is investigated for on-body condition. The simulated impedance bandwidths of the proposed antenna in free space and on phantom are 120MHz and 110MHz at 5.5GHz respectively. The efficiencies of the antenna at 5.5GHz are 95.8% in free space, and 91.6% on phantom, respectively, meanwhile the gains of that are 8.64dB and 9.35dB, respectively.
