UWB Wearable Textile Antenna

A Novel Compact Uwb Textile Button Antenna

A novel compact textile antenna with the appearance of a button on clothing for body-centric wireless communications systems (BWCS) is presented. The antenna is placed on a textile substrate and fed by a coaxial line through the ground plane. The operating bandwidth of the antenna has met the requirement of the UWB communication system. The effects of the human body on S11 and S21 are presented...

Body Wearable Textile Antenna- A Survey

A body wearable antenna (BWA) is a hot topic for the research. In this paper various type of antennas are presented which are already available in literature. A BWA is a textile antenna, which is flexible and comfort. Sometime it is not necessary that space available for mounting the antenna is flat, so antenna should not change its characteristics during bending conditions. Rescue workers most...

Hexagonal Shaped Body Wearable Textile Antenna on EBG Substrate Material

In this paper, a hexagonal shape wearable antenna is presented .the proposed antenna is having EBG structure embed in the inner substrate layer. The antenna resonates at 2.45 GHz. When antenna is incorporated with EBG cell structure, it shows improvement in gain by 1.9 dB and 33% bandwidth improvement. The EBG structure consists of just a 3x3 elements but reduces backward radiations considerabl...

Inkjet printed flexible antenna on textile for wearable applications

We report a direct write inkjet printing technique for fabricating a flexible antenna on textile for use in smart textile applications such as wearable systems (Rienzo et al. 2006). The complete antenna was deposited entirely using inkjet printing. The inkjet printed antenna is based on a half wavelength dipole antenna offering a planar structure and acceptable size. The printable silver nanopa...
