“…Different types of textile materials such as wash cotton, curtain cotton, poly-cotton, jeans cotton, polyester, poly -curtain, leather, flannel fabric, felt fabric, nylon, silk, and fleece are used in (4,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). All the material used has a range of dielectric constant from 1.04 to 2.7 with a thickness of 0.09 mm to 2.84mmand loss tangent of 0.0033 to 0.2.…”

“…A similar study has been done in paper (9) where a microstrip antenna is designed by using polyester fabric with a dielectric constant value of 1.44, loss tangent 0.01 and thickness of 2.85 mm for 2.4 GHz. However, despite narrowband microstrip antennas have several advantages, they typically present low fractional bandwidths and it is noticed by the authors in (10)(11)(12)(13).Therefore, to overcome this drawback, another concept of the microstrip antenna is the "Wideband antenna". These antennas usually have larger bandwidths.…”

Miniaturization of wireless systems empowered the use of the textile antenna for various purposes and has become one of the fastest developing technology in the world today. In general, textile antennas are microstrip antenna where the substrate is a textile material. Commercially, a variety of textile materials available these days, and the properties of these textiles have an impact on the characteristics and performance of an antenna. Normally, textile materials present a very low dielectric constant which is required for an efficient antenna. Nevertheless, textile fabrics are porous, anisotropic, and compressible materials whose thickness and density alters with low pressure affecting the electromagnetic properties of the material. The features of the textile materials were believed to impact the behavior of the antenna, hence this study shows minimal research highlighted on the differences of textile material properties. This review paper summarizes different types of antenna with their applications, essential antenna parameters, and the textile material used for the construction of the wearable textile antenna. This literature review guides to reveal the various considerations for designing wearable antenna from different textile materials. Lastly, several open recommendations are given for further guidance for future studies.

Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) technology is gaining popularity in personal communication due to the expanding improvement in wireless technology. Wearable antennas are utilized in various WBAN applications including personal healthcare, entertainment, military, and many more due to their attractive characteristics and the potential for integrating lightweight, compact, low-cost, and adaptable wireless communications. A wearable reconfigurable antenna will allow a single antenna to operate at multiple resonant frequencies, radiation, polarization or hybrid between them, by using single or multiple active switching devices for signal transmission and reception in different parts of human body, rather than using multiple antennas. Over the years, several review papers were reported on wearable antennas which discussed the requirements and issues of wearable antennas in terms of their design, fabrication, and measurement. Nowadays, WBAN technology employs a single wearable reconfigurable antenna to perform multiple functions in different parts of human body. Recently, a significant amount of work has been carried out in the area of wearable reconfigurable antennas for WBAN applications. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the requirements and analysis needed for wearable reconfigurable antennas such as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for on-body analysis, investigation of the antennas in bending conditions, reconfigurable techniques and reconfigurable performance metrics.

The demand for wearable technologies has grown tremendously in recent years. Wearable antennas are used for various applications, in many cases within the context of wireless body area networks (WBAN). In WBAN, the presence of the human body poses a significant challenge to the wearable antennas. Specifically, such requirements are required to be considered on a priority basis in the wearable antennas, such as structural deformation, precision, and accuracy in fabrication methods and their size. Various researchers are active in this field and, accordingly, some significant progress has been achieved recently. This article attempts to critically review the wearable antennas especially in light of new materials and fabrication methods, and novel designs, such as miniaturized button antennas and miniaturized single and multi-band antennas, and their unique smart applications in WBAN. Finally, the conclusion has been drawn with respect to some future directions.
