A compact dual-band flexible CPW-fed antenna for wearable applications

This paper presents a compact, dual-band, flexible, Co-Planar Waveguide (CPW)-fed antenna. The compact size is achieved by employing meander line technique. The antenna is implemented on a flexible substrate, Gil GML 1034; thus, it is appropriate to be realized for wearable applications. Dual-band is attained at 2.4 GHz of the ISM Band and 5.2 GHz, respectively. Hence, serving the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) applications.
