Bending analysis on circular polarization array textile antenna

This paper presents the performances of circular polarization (CP) array textile antenna in different bending condition. The antenna composed four circular patches in array formation where the patches composes a cross slot at the centre of the patch. In flat condition, a good bandwidth (2.06 GHz - 2.49 GHz), axial ratio (2.38 GHz - 2.62 GHz) with realized gain of 3.09 dB is presented and compared with other bending condition to suits with application of rectenna for energy harvesting system and antenna for monitoring system.
