摘要：
A new type of wearable button antenna for wireless local area network (WLAN) applications is proposed. The antenna is composed of a button with a diameter of circa 16 mm incorporating a patch on top of a dielectric disc. The button is located on top of a textile substrate and a conductive textile ground that are to be incorporated in clothing. The main characteristic feature of this antenna is that it shows two different types of radiation patterns, a monopole type pattern in the 2.4 GHz band for on-body communications and a broadside type pattern in the 5 GHz band for off-body communications. A very high efficiency of about 90% is obtained, which is much higher than similar full textile solutions in the literature. A prototype has been fabricated and measured. The effect of several real-life situations such as a tilted button and bending of the textile ground have been studied. Measurements agree very well with simulations.
