Abstract : A low-profile circular monopole wearable antenna integrated with Jerusalem cross-based EBG 2 × 2 array is designed for ultra-wideband healthcare applications. The designed antenna consists of a circular radiating element feed with microstrip feed and defected ground used in the design. The conducting material of the design is mounted on a denim textile material of thickness 0.7 mm. A 2 × 2 JC EBG array is attached at the distance of 1 mm from the ground, and the foam is used to fill the intermediate space between the designed textile antenna and the EBG array. The size of the proposed wearable textile antenna is 30 × 30 × 1.4 mm3. The proposed antenna is operating in the UWB from 3.1 to 14.89 GHz. The inclusion of EBG array reduces the SAR above 75%. It also enhances the gain and directivity of the proposed antenna in the presence of lossy human tissue. The design meets the basic requirements of wearable applications such as compact size, less manufacture complexity, stable frequency response, and low specific absorption rate (SAR). Therefore, the designed textile antenna with 2 × 2 JC EBG array is a promising candidate for wearable healthcare applications
