State of Art Printing Technique for Wearable Communication Antenna

Abstract

Wearable fabrics are the dominant, overwhelmed research topics for body-centered communication especially in Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) and Internet of Things (IOT) applications, as versatile body signal receiver antennas. To build a wearable antenna, there are many planning processes beforehand. Wearable antennas need to be conformal when used on different parts of the human body, so they need to be incorporated with a low-profile structure using lightweight designs. In addition, these antennas need to be capable of functioning near the human body with minimal degradation. In the design of wearable antennas and fabrication methods, this analysis aims to present various preparation method of fabrication techniques. As wearable antennas are promising, this study is important for the revolution in advanced communication and IR4.0 and suggested a great future alongside the growth of the rapidly growing wireless communication technology.
