Abstract

This paper presents the design of leaf shaped dual band flexible textile antenna. The textile antenna designed at 1.8GHz suitable for Long Term Evolution (LTE) and 2.8GHz WiMAX application. To enhance the flexibility of the proposed antenna and for the comfort of the user, denim textile is used as a substrate material. The conductive copper tape is used as the conducting element. The study also describes the energy coupled effect of two different sizes of leaf shaped to the antenna current distribution where it change the impedance and radiation characteristic of the antenna.
