ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the design of a WIFI textile wearable antenna in Body Area Network (BAN).
Tuning holes addresses the issues of small size, wide
bandwidth and low conductive loss in particular. Due
to its vital permit, tuning holes serves well to be a
choice as a wearable antenna for on-body communication system. The proposed design is simulated in CST
Microwave Studio (CST MWS). The prototype is a
textile-based construction offering a wide impedance
bandwidth. Detailed tests and measurements carried
out using a full-body phantom are reported in this paper.
Key word: Tuning Hole, Electro-Textile.

Table1 depicts the material used as well as their dimensions. The tuning holes initially discussed in [10]
are designed using a probe feed and metallic ground
plane. But for the design to be implemented on textile
it is important to make appropriate changes. Using a
probe in the fabric feed may be very unstable from the
construction point of view. Therefore, a Microstrip
feed structure is used. The altered design is shown in
Fig. 1.The simulated results of reflection coefficient of
the Microstrip-fed tuning holes are shown in Fig. 2. It
shows that the -10dB bandwidth ranges from 1 GHz to
6GHz. The impedance bandwidth is thus 39%.
