Abstract
This paper proposes a unique, first of its kind fabrication technique for the making of textile antennas. A novel method that provides scope for automation in textile antenna production is presented here. A completely integrated textile antenna fabrication method that eliminates the tasks of positioning and fastening of the various components of a patch antenna is discussed. The technique employs multilayer weaving for the production of a wearable antenna on a cotton substrate. Silver yarn is used for the conductive regions of the textile antenna. Two layers of woven cotton serve to isolate the radiating patch from the ground plane of the antenna. The designed antenna was chosen to operate at the frequency of 2.45 GHz for Wireless Local Area Network. The built prototype resonated at 2.43 GHz with a |S11|of −18.62 dB. The integrated textile antenna exhibited a gain of 1.06 dBi at 2.43 GHz.
