A compact coplanar wave guide fed flexible monopole antenna on textile substrate is presented in this article. It consists of H and two concentric C slots. The H slot excites multiple band and the two concentric C slots improve the bandwidths. Measured impedance bandwidths are observed to be 1.5‐3.0 GHz and 4.5‐6.5 GHz for the first and second bands, respectively. Electromagnetic band gap structure has been used to achieve low specific absorption rate. The antenna has a compact size of 0.367 × 0.367λ. A sample was fabricated and experimentally characterized to verify the design concept and to validate the simulated results.
