Wearable antenna with tripolarization capability

A wearable antenna with tripolarization diversity is designed in the 2.4 GHz band. An inductive loaded circular monopolar patch with a microstrip annular ring are combined to realize the tripolarization. Simulated and measured results yield a sufficient bandwidth for WBAN. The port isolation reaches 13.5 dB, and the correlation coefficients indicate a good diversity.
