“…In the literature, a variety of solutions to develop Textile Integrated Circuits (TIC) has been proposed. Embroidered techniques [16][17][18][19][20], non-woven solutions [21][22][23], designs based on using several fabrics with different electromagnetic behaviour [24][25][26] or inkjet printed patterns over textile substrates [27][28][29][30] are some of the most cited solutions. More recently, there has been an increasing interest in the development of TIC based on Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology [31,32].…”

A flexible fully textile-integrated bandstop frequency selective surface working at a central frequency of 3.75 GHz and presenting a 0.6 GHz bandwidth has been designed, manufactured and experimentally characterised. The frequency selective surface consists of a multilayered woven fabric whose top layer presents periodic cross-shaped conductive resonators, and due to its symmetries, its performance is largely independent of polarisation and angle of incidence. These properties make the prototype very interesting for shielding applications. The designed frequency selective surface is based on a layer-to-layer angle interlock 3D woven fabric. This technology provides the prototype with flexibility, portability and the possibility of manufacturing it in a large scale production by the use of existing industrial weaving machinery, in contrast to conventional frequency selective surfaces manufactured using rigid substrates. The proposed textile frequency selective surface has been simulated and experimentally validated providing good agreement between the simulations and measurements. The measured maximum attenuation has been found to be higher than 25 dB under normal incidence conditions.

This paper introduces 3D direct writing and microdispensing of graphene ultrahigh frequency (UHF) radio-frequencyidentification (RFID) antennas on textile, wood, and cardboard substrates, subsequently cured either by conventional oven or photonically by pulsed Xenon flashes. Photonic-cured passive UHF RFID graphene tags on cardboard, wood, and textile substrates achieve read ranges of 5.4, 4.6, and 4 meters, respectively. These results are superior to those achieved by the oven-cured tags that featured read ranges of 4.8, 4.5, and 3.6 meters, respectively. This work presents the first integration of 3D printing and photonic curing of graphene antennas on low-cost versatile substrates.

A novel fully textile-integrated antenna based on a slotted short-circuited microstrip line has been designed, manufactured and experimentally validated for its use in automobile upholsteries for dedicated short-range communications. The antenna can be manufactured using an industrial loom and a laser prototyping machine, avoiding subsequent treatments, sewing procedures or coatings. The manufactured antenna presents a central working frequency of 5.9 GHz and a 9.3% bandwith. Good agreement between simulations and measurements has been achieved.
