Wearable embroidered antenna design for body worn application

Wearable textile antenna is a technology for future body worn applications as a part of effort to enhance the quality of daily life. As a body worn antenna, the antenna should own a characteristics such as flexible, lightweight, small size and easily integrated onto body of human or animal. In this...
