Abstract
This paper analysed the effects of bending on the performance of a textile antenna wherein the antenna under test was made of felt substrate for both industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band and WBAN applications at 2.45 GHz. Moreover, the conductive material was used for the patch, and the ground plane used a 0.17 mm Shieldit textile. Meanwhile, the antenna structure was in the form of rectangular, with a line patch in between elements to abate the mutual coupling effect. The measured operating frequency range of the antenna spanned from 2.33 GHz to 2.5 GHz with a gain of 4.7 dBi at 2.45 GHz. In this paper, the antenna robustness was examined by bending the structure on different radii and degrees along both X- and Y-axis. Next, the effects on return loss, bandwidth, isolation, and radiation characteristics were analysed. This paper also discovered that the antenna’s performance remained acceptable as it was deformed, and the measured results agreed well with the simulation.

Summary
Investigation on Wearable Antenna under Different Bending Conditions for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) Applications. Is paper analysed the effects of bending on the performance of a textile antenna wherein the antenna under test was made of felt substrate for both industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band and WBAN applications at 2.45 GHz. the conductive material was used for the patch, and the ground plane used a 0.17 mm Shieldit textile. Extensive research studies have investigated the realisation of wireless body area networks (WBANs), on the textile antenna design in medical and nonmedical applications. In terms of sustainability of the wearable device, it should be lightweight, offer great flexibility, inexpensive, and robust Considering these characteristics, this paper proposed a simple structure of rectangular patch multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna [5,6,7,8,9]. It should be noted that MIMO systems are extensively used in wireless communication to optimise the system with greater signal receptions and enlarge channel capacity [10]
