摘要：

A flexible dual-band antenna with a metamaterial structure (MS) is presented. Polyimide substance, which makes the antenna thin and bendable, is used as the substrate for the antenna. When the MS is placed between the antenna and the human's forearm, the antenna gain is increased by 9.3 and 5.37 dB, and the radiation efficiency is increased by 48.4% and 35.7%, at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz, respectively. In addition, the specific absorption rate is decreased by more than 70%, considering the limitations imposed by Federal Communications Commission and the regulation of International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) for the frequencies cited above. The fabricated prototype of the antenna with the integrated MS was investigated by placing it on different places of human body, as also on different human bodies. The obtained results show that the proposed antenna is safe and suitable for use, in terms of the ICNIRP standards of World Health Organization.
