This paper presents the design of a novel textile antenna with an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Wireless Body Area Network Applications (WBAN).The design of a CPW antenna is chosen due to its ability to operate over a wide range of frequencies, with a bandwidth of 6.93GHz respectively. The proposed antenna is fabricated on a flexible felt substrate with permittivity 1.22, making it suitable for wearable applications. The incorporation of the AMC layer enhances the antenna's gain and improves its radiation performance, and stable impedance matching. The antenna is designed to operate in the frequency range of 3.1 to 10.6 GHz, which is suitable for UWB applications. The deformation analysis of the antenna with different bending radii at 8.364 GHz for 1gram where it meets the SAR standards of IEEE C95.3 has been measured using CST Microwave Studio tool.
