In this paper, performance of monopole textile antenna integrated with a flexible artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) surface is presented. The integrated antenna is designed for operating within the 2.45 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. The addition of AMC is to reduce the backward radiation toward the human body and increase the antenna gain. Characteristics of the AMC antenna based on simulation and measurement results under different bending conditions have been studied and presented to validate the antenna for its usefulness in wearable applications. Besides, the causes that lead to the discrepancies between simulations and measurements are discussed.
