In this work, a Multi-band wearable microstrip patch antenna designed integrated with the defected ground structure(DGS)[1], and the substrate being used is Denim which is flexible[4] and can be easily fabricated on common wearable materials. This Radiating patch antenna is designed with the optimized dimensions and suits appropriately for the communication in wearable electronics as well as in smart textile application. The designed antenna operates at resonating frequencies of 4.885 GHz and 5.57 GHz. Further the design is modified to a 2-element MIMO [2] antenna using T-shaped Stub matching technique to reduce mutual coupling and resonate at frequency of 8GHz by designing and simulating in CST Microwave Studio 2019 software and the enhanced results like Directivity, Gain, E-field are obtained.
