A novel triple band bow-tie wearable antenna is designed to operate at 450 MHz, 800 MHz and 1.4 GHz. Electro-Textile materials were used as the substrate in order to provide higher degree of flexibility. A study on most commonly used textile substrates are carried out and it is found that jeans cotton provides maximum S 11 . Specific absorption rate (SAR) of the designed antenna is calculated using the voxel model. The calculated SAR value agrees with the international standards.
