Abstract
Two dual frequency band patch antennas are presented fabricated on clothing materials. The antennas operate over the wireless network bands at 2.45 Hz and 5 GHz. To reduce back radiation the antennas were placed over an electromagnetic band gap surface. Back radiation was reduced by 10 to 15 dB while maintaining the impedance match over the frequency bands.
