Abstract
An antenna fabricated using clothing materials is presented. The antenna operates over the wireless network bands at 2.45 Hz and 5 GHz. An electromagnetic band gap surface is used to reduce back radiation by 10 to 15 dB while maintaining the impedance match over the two frequency bands. Coupling between antennas is significantly reduced making it ideal for body worn communication systems.
