Abstract
In this paper, we present a wideband planar E- shaped textile antenna and study its performance numerically and experimentally. The textile material and radiation patch shape provide the antenna a wide working band (2.25GHz{2.75GHz). A digital human model is established to numerically analyze the afiect of human body on antenna. Experiments are carried out to study the performance changes of antenna in difierent states which may be experienced in the potential applications. These states are antenna on human body, antenna getting bent, and antenna after getting wet. The simulated and measured results in free space and on human chest show good agreement with each other. From the study it is also found that the textile antenna's performance does not get deteriorated in these states. Therefore, the wideband planar E-shaped textile antenna is suitable for body-centric wireless communications with high quality.
