Abstract
This paper describes the antenna performances made from common clothing fabrics for 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) applications by employing electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures as the substrate of the antenna for gain enhancement in millimeter-wave frequency. A suspended transmission line method has been taken into account for the characterization of the EBG structure to obtain the optimum design. Furthermore, the optimum unit cell, which is loaded onto the antenna, is easy to implement and allows obtaining a Peak Gain of 9.79 dBi in 26 GHz band.
