Miniaturization and Electromagnetic Reliability of Wearable Textile Antennas

The wearable textile antenna plays a decisive role in the currently increasingly wireless communication network area. To realize miniaturization and electromagnetic reliability, slotted full-textile microstrip was designed fabricated using screen printing method. measured return loss radiation pattern were tested compared with simulated results. Additionally, adhesion between silver paste coating as element substrate detected sticking tape well observation by microscope. develop on-body application, artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) designed, optimized fabricated. performance results showed that existence of AMC had significant effect reducing body coupling backward radiation.
