N2  - The design approach of a loop-dipole combined antenna for wearable applications is proposed. In order to mitigate the antenna?s performance deterioration caused by the human body, additional loops are incorporated with a wideband dipole. The loops can i) widen the impedance bandwidth by minimizing the reactance of the antenna, ii) increase the antenna?s directivity and iii) act as wearable accessories for easy mounting to the users? bodies as well. Then, the interaction between the antenna and the human body can be reduced. The antenna is simulated and measured for both free space and on-body cases. Operation bandwidth of 40% (20log|S11| < -10 dB) from 6 to 9 GHz is obtained. The measured results show good agreement with the simulated ones.
