Abstract
A compact wearable antenna fully made of textile-based materials for short range communication was designed and fabricated. A 3-axis automated dispensing robot coupled with a precision liquid dispenser was used to sequentially deliver copper sulfate (CuSO4) and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) on fabric surface to form conductive copper coatings. The copper coatings were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The performance of antennas assembled with such copper-coated conductive textiles was accessed by transmission line method for their S11parameter values. The results demonstrated that such electroconductive textile-based antennas may serve as a wearable device and operate in the license free 2.45 GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) radio band.
