A wearable dual-port button antenna that excites pattern-diversity dual-polarized waves is proposed for on-/off-body applications. Its simple structure comprises of two radiators and a common ground plane designed into substrates. The crossed-dipole radiator made by symmetric bowtie dipoles printed on circular-shaped semi-rigid substrate, which covers an ultra-wideband (UWB) application with ci...
