This paper proposes a flexible wearable ultra-wideband antenna suitable for 802.15.3a WPAN applications. The design contains a notch at 5.2GHz for HIPERLAN compatibility. A novel neoprene© substrate is introduced in this paper. Measured results are included for “Antenna on skin” and “Antenna on a hand glove” for return loss and far-field patterns.
