Abstract :
The paper describes performance of textile and flexible antennas operating in the nearest vicinity of human body (at S-band and UHF), manufactured with use of four techniques. Presented results of our studies have revealed, a kind of fabric used to antenna manufacture has remarkable effect on gain, efficiency, radiation pattern and antenna bandwidth defined by impedance and other terms.
