A Review of Textile and Cloth Fabric Wearable Antennas
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent advancements in technology in the wireless technology has led to rise of wearable antennas made of different fabrics. It is an unconventional antenna, meant to be a part of clothing and body. The radiating element is made of copper or any other conductor while the substrate used for wearable antenna application are textile or cloth based material. This literature review tends to reveal the various considerations for designing of wearable antenna from different textile materials and illustrates the effect of wearable antenna on human body and vice versa. These antennas have wide range of applications in the area of tracking, navigation, telemedicine, public safety and defence.
