Abstract

A novel dual-band textile hexagonal AMC design covering the entire 2.5/5.5 GHz WiFi bands for wearable applications is presented through FEM simulations and reflection coefficient phase measurements in anechoic chamber. The designed structure shows polarization-angle independence under normal incidence and its angular stability under oblique incidence is also analyzed.
