“…Among these different antenna types, the microstrip topology antenna [1][2][3][4][5] has attracted a lot of attentions because it has a low profile, low cost, lightweight, simple installation, and conformability to planar and nonplanar surfaces [6,7]. However, the patch and the ground of the textile antenna are exposed outside and hence may be destroyed because of the aging or be cut or may break abruptly, and so forth, so that the performance will change.…”

“…At present, there are two known ways to fabricate the wearable antenna: one is the inject-printed technique [5] and the other is conductive thread [1][2][3][4]. It is clear that the injectprinted layer is very similar to that of the solid one.…”

“…These lead to the textile looking like a solid one so that it is reasonable to imitate it by the conventional design. Besides, the conventional antenna can be made into textile one using the methods mentioned in [1][2][3][4][5]8]. Therefore, in this paper, the broken situation is imitated by slicing the ground plane of the conventional patch antenna.…”

To imitate the broken situation of the conductive threads of the wearable antenna, a strip-ground design of rectangular patch antenna with the conventional substrate is presented to investigate the change of the antenna performance, where the ground is sliced along its -plane. The strips are symmetrical along the center line of the width of the patch, and the gap ratio of the gap to the solid ground varies with the change of gaps. The conventional patch antenna is used as a reference for comparison with the stripe-ground antennas. And the effect of the coaxial cable, the changes of the impedance, and the cross-polarization of the antenna are investigated. Several antenna prototypes are fabricated and their measured results are in good agreement with the simulations. These results show that the gaps change the performance of the strip-ground antennas, but they can work well if the gap ratio is less than 1 : 4.

Smart Textiles integrated with communicating components have been used in the military for many applications. The wearable antenna can be attached or embedded into smart textiles which could be used for communication between combat soldiers in the battlefield. This paper presents the design of three different polygon shaped patch antennas operating on 3G Mobile Band frequency 2100 MHz embedded on three different dielectric constant materials for Military applications. The proposed polygon shaped patch antenna introduces horizontal slit in its patch to improve the antenna performance. The slit length is varied and their corresponding effect on the antenna performance is analyzed.

This study brings out the design, fabrication and performance evaluation of a compact, dual band antenna on paper substrate. The two bands of operations are 2.18 to 2.50 and 5.22 to 5.72 GHz. These bands are used by the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and radio frequency identification systems (RFID). The antenna becomes useful for the WSN nodes and RFID systems at these frequencies. The overall size of the antenna is 40 mm × 20 mm × 0.6 mm, which makes it a compact one. Antenna was tested for the effect of bending by placing it over curvilinear surfaces. The bending was done in horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) axes. These examinations will help to understand the effect of wind loading and other packaging related bending on antenna performance. The main features of this antenna are stability in performance under bent conditions, simple configuration and low cost of fabrication. A thin polyethylene layer has been used to laminate the antenna for permanence. The effect of lamination has also been explained in the course of the study.
