“…Preliminary performance characterization of the antennas as they undergo flexure, as presented here and in [7][8] indicates that good antenna performance can be maintained, and that a combination of antenna design and placement are useful in creating robust designs. Additionally, through utilization of modern smart antenna techniques, even greater flexibility is permitted since antenna performance can be adjusted in real-time to compensate for the antenna's changing environment.…”

Space applications of body-centric wireless and e-textile antennas are numerous. Along with the traditional data sources, such as voice, tracking, and video, new data sources including biotelemetry, high-rate video and data, detailed tracking information and status of handheld tools, devices and on-body inventories have brought about a need for increased performance from antenna systems. E-textile antennas, which typically entail lighter weights and highly conformal properties, show great potential for the next generation of space antenna systems. Antennas made from textiles, however, must be rugged and robust for use in space environments.

“…Several authors have studied the effects of antenna flexure on the input impedance and radiation characteristics of e-textile microstrip antennas [7][8]. Results showed slight detuning of the antenna elements; however, with a sufficiently large impedance bandwidth, good antenna performance was maintained.…”

“…To improve reception in real-life applications, where the wearer is mobile and continuously changing his orientation with respect to the receiving antenna, linear polarization had to be avoided. To achieve these specifications, a single feed rectangular ring topology [7,8] was chosen. Placing the feed point on a diagonal of the patch avoids linear polarization by means of excitation of the two orthogonal modes TM10 and TM01.…”

“…The textile antennas proposed in [6,7] are made out of a lowcost fleece fabric which is not suitable for integration into a fire fighter garment because it is not flame resistant unlike the aramid woven fabric. Antennas mounted onto fleece fabric provide a better antenna efficiency and gain in comparison to the aramid fabric because of the lower permittivity, smaller loss tangent and larger thickness of the fleece.…”

This paper reports a multilayer textile microstrip patch antenna for integration into protective clothing for professional workers since it is made out of a high performance aramid fabric. It is designed to operate in the 2.45 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band for short range communication to transmit vital signs, activity and environmental conditions to a nearby base station. Electrotextiles are used for the antenna patch and ground plane. Integration of the textile antenna into the protective clothing requires a finite ground plane and reliable operation in the vicinity of the body. Furthermore the patch may bend. A rectangular ring topology is proposed to preserve the antenna characteristics in real-life applications. This research paves the way for a new generation of protective clothing.

“…There are three main types of wire antennas suggested for wearable applications: The folded loop [1,2], Minkovski fractal [3] and MeanderLine Bowtie antennas [4]. Another type of wearable antenna uses various kinds of low profile microstrip antennas commercially used in mobile handsets [5,6]. It should be noted that these types of antennas are usually used for narrowband applications; therefore some wideband textile antennas were introduced in the past [7][8][9].…”

Abstract-In this paper, a new simple VHF-LB vest antenna is proposed, simulated, fabricated and tested. The simulation results for various user's positions such as standing, kneeling and prone on the ground are obtained and compared with conventional whip antenna mounted on mobile unit. It is shown that the proposed antenna outperforms the whip antenna in terms of gain and body energy absorption. The measurements results of proposed vest antenna confirm the simulation results.
