摘要：

A wearable fabric antenna on the upper am is presented for on-body applications in the MedRadio band. The antenna was manufactured on a fabric substrate and operated at the Medical Device Radio Communications Service band (Med Radio band: 401-406 MHz). The antenna was designed to steer the beam directions. The use of two artificial switches enables a beam-steering capability. The dimensions of the proposed antenna are 50 x 20.5 x 0.66 min(3) (676.5 mm(3)), and it utilises a fabric substrate (epsilon(r) = 1.92, tan delta = 0.023). A one-layer skin model (epsilon(r) = 46.74, sigma = 0.69 S/m) is adopted for antenna simulation and measurement.
