ZHONG et al: CONFORMAL SPIRAL ANTENNA ON CONDUCTIVE TEXTILES 1  Abstract-We present a novel load-bearing spiral antenna on conductive textile threads (E-threads) for conformal applications. The textile spiral exhibits a nearly 10:1 bandwidth (0.3-3GHz) with circularly polarized gain of 6.5dBi across the 1-3GHz bandwidth. Such performance is unique for textiles and flexible surfaces. An important aspect of this paper is the demonstration of repeatable performance for this textile spiral antenna. Also, mechanical tests for the spiral showed no appreciable changes in performance, even after 300 flexing cycles. The spiral is a cavity-backed configuration with its ground plane also embroidered using very thin (diameter=0.12mm) Elektrisola E-threads. These threads can achieve geometrical precision down to 0.1mm. To enhance robustness, high-strength Kevlar fabric was employed as the substrate. Overall, the proposed spiral is very attractive for several wideband, conformal, and load-bearing applications, such as airborne and wearables.

Abstract-In this paper, a novel circular-hexagonal Fractal antenna is investigated for super wide band applications. The proposed antenna is made of iterations of a hexagonal slot inside a circular metallic patch with a transmission line. A partial ground plane and asymmetrical patch toward the substrate are used for designing the antenna to achieve a super wide bandwidth ranging from 2.18 GHz to 44.5 GHz with a bandwidth ratio of 20.4 : 1. The impedance bandwidth and gain of the proposed antenna are much better than the recently reported super wideband antennas which make it appropriate for many wireless communications systems such as ISM, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, WLAN and UWB. Details of the proposed antenna design are presented and discussed.

“…In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of literature on SWB antenna. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Other than the monopole antennas, one of the effective methods to achieve SWB is the fractal geometry. Self-similarity and space filling are two common important properties of fractal geometry.…”

In this study, a novel textile fractal antenna is designed and optimized using genetic algorithm for super-wideband applications. The antenna design is based on the iterations of triangular-circular patch and a partially modified elliptical ground plane. Results show that the proposed antenna presents impedance bandwidth (return loss < −10 dB) covering the range of frequencies from 1.4 to 20 GHz. The present design mainly focuses on the current trends in the development of wireless body area networks for many wireless communications such as GPS, PCS-1900, IMT-2000/UMTS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and UWB applications.
