Stacked Textile Antenna for Multi Band Application Using Foam Substrate

Abstract The proposed article describes the new stacked design of the textile antenna. In this article a tripple wideband high directivity stacked textile antenna is proposed. The proposed antenna shows wideband performance with wide bandwidth of 18.38% covering the frequency range of 3.667 GHz to 4.409 GHz, 7.76% covering the frequency range of 7.2132 GHz to 7.795 GHz and 7.67% in the frequency range of 10.03 GHz to 10.83 GHz respectively. The textile material is used because it is wearable, washable, economical, and flexible & needs less care. Measured and Simulated return loss plot is presented to validate the importance of the proposed design.
