Abstract

This paper describes the wideband wearable T-shape monopole antenna with parasitic elements and the wearable slot antenna with an arrow head for receiving the digital television broadcasting wave from 470 MHz to 770 MHz in Japan. These proposed wearable antennas achieved the good wideband performance in the condition that these antennas are in the free space. As a next stage, the VSWR and radiation pattern of both antennas are on the jacket worn by a human body have to be measured.
