Abstract
Wearable, textile-based antennas are dominated research topics for body-centric communications because it could be easily worn on body and integrated into clothes. Since the antenna will operate on a moving person, a circularly polarized antenna is needed in order to optimize the off-body communication link. A wearable circularly polarized textile antenna for body-centric wireless communications is designed in this paper. The proposed antenna is a square-ring microstrip antenna with truncated corners with the bandwidth of 9% when off the body. When it is near the body, we simulate the human body as three-layer model including skin, fat and muscle and put the antenna at different distances to the body. The situation of antenna bending is also simulated at different radii. Specific Absorption Rate was evaluated at last.
