In this paper, a "double G" textile CPW-fed monopole antenna design for dual-band WLAN applications is proposed. Return loss, realized gain and radiation patterns measurements are used to characterize a manufactured prototype. The obtained bandwidth and radiation characteristics make the double G antenna proper to be used for WiFi and 4G LTE applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.7GHz band and 5.1GHz to 5.875GHz band. Moreover, effects on the return loss for the novel design antenna under bent conditions are further discussed.
