Communication in Body Area Network (BAN) is very challenging because of the high electromagnetic absorption of human tissues. In this study, a waveguide surface printed on textile is used to guide electromagnetic waves between two on-body devices. A half-wavelength dipole is used to excite the waveguide surface. Simulation are presented at 2.4GHz for planar and curved surface on a textile substrate.
