AB  - In this study, a wearable textile tag dipole antenna is introduced as a candidate for use in RFID
applications. The antenna structure had been designed based on a modified version of the Wunderlich fractal
geometry of the second iteration. The proposed antenna is simulated with two form of substrate conventional
and textile for traditional substrate it offered a dual band at 0.952 and 2.5 GHz and when it modeled on a textile
substrate it offers a dual-band response resonating at 0.952 and 2.7 GHz. Results show that the textile antenna
presents acceptable radiation characteristics with peak gains of about 1.214 dBi and read range 12.76 m for lower
band and 2.704 dBi with 4.9 m read range for upper band. The effect of the thread radius, the characterization
of different textile material used as the substrate when nine textile materials are chosen for the compression and
also the various layer of textile has been studied in this research. Modeling and performance characteristics are
evaluated by using the commercially available EM simulator, the CST Microwave Studio.
