The compact and robust high-impedance surface (HIS) integrated with the antenna is designed to operate at a frequency of 2.45 GHz for wearable applications. They are made of highly flexible fabric material. The overall size is $45\times \,\,45\times 2.4$ mm3 which equivalent to $0.37\lambda \text{o}...
