TLDR
In this article, the authors present a literature review of wearable antenna technology and provide readers with the background of the wearable antenna that would include about specification of the antenna, material for the antenna and analysis that must be done to design proper wearable antennas.Abstract:
Utilization of wearable textiles in the antenna segment has been seen on the rise due to the recent miniaturization of wireless devices. A wearable antenna is meant to be a part of the clothing used for communication purposes, which includes tracking and navigation, mobile computing and public safety. This literature review intend to disclose this unconventional antenna technology and provides readers with the background of the wearable antenna that would include about specification of the antenna, material for the antenna and analysis that must be done to design proper wearable antennas. All the designs presented are of the recent development in wearable technology.read more
