Analysis of a Compact Multi-Band Textile Antenna for WBAN and WLAN Applications

A dual-band wearable antenna is designed on a textile material. The design operates at ISM bands available for Wireless Body Area Network and Local with an input match better than -15 dB. by using Computational Electromagnetic Software (CEMS) based finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. three-layer phantom model including skin, fat muscle has been considered to compute the specific absorption rate (SAR). maximum value of SAR averaged over 1g 10g tissue less 1.6 W/Kg 2 W/Kg, respectively, when incident power 63 mW. These values are incompliance international electromagnetic safety standards.
