The antenna performance is address in terms of S<sub>11</sub> and radiation pattern. The flexible antenna performance is simulated in free space condition and compared to the antenna performance in on-body environment. The aim of this research is to choose suitable flexible dielectric substrate which sustains its performance under on-body environment. The results of this research could provide guidance and has significant implication for future development of wearable electronics especially in medical monitoring application. ER -
