Abstract

This paper presents an ultrawideband wearable textile antenna for emergency communication applications, and investigates the loading effects of the human body on radiation performance of the antenna. The proposed antenna has a measured operating bandwidth from 0.31 to 1.2 GHz and an average realized gain of 3.32 dBi in free space. Furthermore, the results show that the antenna gain can effectively be improved by properly adjusting the distance between the human body and the antenna.
