Abstract

A compact Planar Inverted-F Antenna design for off-body communications, in the ISM band (2.4–2.5 GHz), is presented. Slots are properly introduced in the radiating element of the PIFA in order to reduce the resonant frequency, thus achieving compactness. The proposed design is based on a textile substrate, making it suitable for integration into garments and clothing items. A lateral coaxial feed mechanism is also employed to reduce the antenna profile. Simulation analysis in terms of antenna return loss and gain is presented as validation.
