Abstract
A wearable textile antenna based on the fundamental mode of an eighth-mode substrate-integrated waveguide is presented, operating in the UHF frequency band, at 915 MHz. The proposed structure has a compact size, and presents a very good isolation from the human body. Compared to its SIW resonator counterpart, the proposed antenna size has been reduced by almost 87.5 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">%</sup> , without degrading its performance. It has been simulated using CST Microwave Studio, with a broadside radiation pattern. All these features make this antenna very promising for Lo-Ra systems and applications, such as internet of things (IoT) applications.
