Characterization of the electromagnetic properties of textile fabrics for the use in wearable antennas
TL;DR: A characterization method is proposed that removes the perturbations in the calculated properties, due to imperfect deembedding and inhomogeneities of the textile microstrip line structure, from the textile antenna design.
Off-body communication in a multipath environment over time-variant channels using multiple textile antennas for the 2.45 GHz band
Patrick Van Torre,Luigi Vallozzi,Carla Hertleer,Frederick Declercq,Hendrik Rogier,Marc Moeneclaey,Jo Verhaevert +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of wireless data communication links for fully equipped firemen walking indoor and communicating through textile patch antennas integrated into their clothing was investigated, and the dynamic channel estimation needed for communication between a fixed base station and a moving fireman over a time-variant channel subject to the multipath propagation in an indoor environment.

Environmental electromagnetic characterization framework for wearable antenna materials
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a dedicated constitutive parameter extraction method as a function of relative humidity of all materials used, based on a comparison between measured and simulated antenna figure's of merit in order to extract complex permittivity of the substrate and effective bulk conductivity of e-textile.

EMC-aware analysis and design of a low-cost receiver circuit under injection locking and pulling
Martijn Huynen,Gert-Jan Stockman,Frederick Declercq,Guy Torfs,Johan Bauwelinck,Dries Vande Ginste +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of co-located sources on the local oscillator (LO), specifically injection locking and pulling, are investigated for low-cost radio receiver (RF) front-end.
