In this work, an attempt has been made to design a wearable antenna which is completely made up of textile materials. The electro-conductive fabrics are used as conducting patch and ground plane. They are made up of conductive yarns of cotton and copper filament twisted together to form an assembled fabric. Apart from this, a polypropylene based non-woven fabric is used as a substrate for the antenna designed at a target frequency of 2 GHz. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.
