    This paper presents the design and development of a textile bowtie patch antenna for potential RF energy harvesting application using the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM 1800) band. The size of the antenna is 80 mm × 40 mm, and is designed on a 6 mm thick Felt textile as the substrate and 0.08 mm-thick ShieldIt as its conducting material. The simulated and measured reflection coefficients justified that the bowtie antenna can be used for RF energy harvesting application at 1.8 GHz. This antenna has realized gain ranging from 2.56 dB to 2.55 dB and a total antenna efficiency of -4.3 dB.
