Abstract	As wireless communication networks are growing larger and larger, mobile terminals would take more important part, and they have to be more compact and their functions should be further developed. An antenna is one of key elements in such mobile terminals in wireless systems. Thin, light weight, compact and flexible antenna would be of great use. Examples are; a flexible antenna integrated within clothing (so called a wearable antenna), and flexible RFIDs attached on objects in various configurations. As for a wearable antenna, a microstrip antenna was proposed and the characteristics were reported in the case of being bent [1][2]. Microstrip antennas are, in general, considered to need a large area of the ground plane so as to be less affected by an object behind, for example a human body. A cavity backed slot antenna (CBSA) [3][4] is also able to have a thin structure of a few mm thickness. A flexible CBSA consisting of aluminium foils and a polystyrene foam was reported and the radiation characteristics from the bent antenna are shown [5]. CBSAs are considered to be less sensitive to objects in the backside because of their backed cavity. In this paper, a CBSA is fabricated with a conducting fabric and verified as a wearable antenna.
