RECONFIGURABLE FREQUENCY WITH CIRCULAR

POLARIZATION FOR ON-BODY WEARABLE TEXTILE


ANTENNA
Authors Abstract
MR SHAKHIRUL MAT SALLEH This paper describes the development of reconfigurable frequency
MUZAMMIL JUSOH microstrip patch textile antenna. This antenna is composed with a
DR ABDUL HAFIIZH ISMAIL truncated edges rectangular patch incorporated with the slot structure at
PM DR MUHAMMAD RAMLEE the ground. Three BAR PIN diodes switches are placed on the slotted
KAMARUDIN ground plane. By controlling the state of the switches, such antenna is able
