Wearable Pi-Slot Microstrip Antenna for Applications in UHF Band

Design of a microstrip textile antenna with pi-shaped slot in the patch was proposed. The antenna is supposed to be worn on body and used for body-centric communications in the UHF band (around 400 MHz). The calculated results were compared to the ones measured on the prototype and some minor discrepancies were observed. The input reflection coefficient was measured using various textile materials as substrates. Finally, the influence of antenna bending and the vicinity of human body on the antenna performance were investigated.
