Design and Fabrication of a Novel Textile Conformal Half-wave Dipole Antenna
Textile antennas which are used in wearable devices functioning as the wireless signal transmission devices increasingly draw peoples attention.In this study, a textile conformal dipole antenna was designed to work at the frequency of 915 MHz.Different from the commonly manufactured antenna, the radiation elements of the antenna were bonded on the stitched polyester fabric substrate directly to get the conformal effect in order to make the antenna wearable.In this case, the effects of roughness of the stitched substrate on the antenna performance become very important.To characterize the surface roughness of substrate, the value of root mean square (RMS) surface error was calculated based on the built models with yarn thickness and weaving structures taken into account.To estimate the reliability of textile substrate, an acceptable range of operation frequency versus antenna RMS surface error was marked out.The calculated RMS surface error of our designed 920 MHz antenna was 0.25 mm, indicating the relatively proper antenna design and good performance of the antenna.
