Abstract :
How the performance of wearable textile antennas is affected on the antenna bending is described herein. The authors focus on the resonance frequency fluctuation and input-match bandwidth variation due to the antenna bending. The results are given for three different antennas, namely, a conventional patch, EBG, and dual-band U-slot antennas
