A wrist wearable antenna resonating on 406 MHz and 1.575 GHz frequencies is presented. Two π‐shaped designs with different substrates and different thicknesses are used. The antennas are to be integrated on a wearable personal locator beacon. The radiation pattern, return loss, VSWR, and SAR are simulated and measured.
