Abstract

A dual-band dual-mode center-shorted wearable textile antenna for on-body and off-body communications is pro-posed. The antenna radiates simultaneously in the 5G standards band centered at 3.5 GHz and the 5.8 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. An omnidirectional pattern is achieved in the lower band, while at the higher band, the antenna exhibits a broadside radiation pattern. Based on the antenna concept, two wearable textile prototypes are optimized and fabricated using eyelets and embroidered vias to implement the center shorting. These textile antennas are then measured in various wearable scenarios to validate the concept.
