“…With the aim of pushing textile components to the microwave range, a weaving-based procedure to design, simulate and manufacture RF textile-integrated structures has already been thoroughly discussed in [36][37][38]. Moreover, this weaving-based procedure presents the advantage of avoiding posterior adhesives, coatings or sewing procedures to manufacture the flexible prototypes.…”

A flexible fully textile-integrated bandstop frequency selective surface working at a central frequency of 3.75 GHz and presenting a 0.6 GHz bandwidth has been designed, manufactured and experimentally characterised. The frequency selective surface consists of a multilayered woven fabric whose top layer presents periodic cross-shaped conductive resonators, and due to its symmetries, its performance is largely independent of polarisation and angle of incidence. These properties make the prototype very interesting for shielding applications. The designed frequency selective surface is based on a layer-to-layer angle interlock 3D woven fabric. This technology provides the prototype with flexibility, portability and the possibility of manufacturing it in a large scale production by the use of existing industrial weaving machinery, in contrast to conventional frequency selective surfaces manufactured using rigid substrates. The proposed textile frequency selective surface has been simulated and experimentally validated providing good agreement between the simulations and measurements. The measured maximum attenuation has been found to be higher than 25 dB under normal incidence conditions.

“…The before mentioned techniques used for the development of TIC, which have been described in [18], are conceived as a post treatment of existing fabrics by the use of different techniques such as adhesives, coatings or sewing procedures. These techniques cannot be performed in the fabric manufacture process, leading to a circuit which is not fully integrated into the textile.…”

“…which has already been discussed in [18] is applied to the development of a microwave fully integrated slotted microstrip antenna, for dedicated short-range communications (DSRC). This technique enables the integration of the final textile components in the fabric manufacturing process, without requiring subsequent treatments, making it suitable for large scale production.…”

A novel fully textile-integrated antenna based on a slotted short-circuited microstrip line has been designed, manufactured and experimentally validated for its use in automobile upholsteries for dedicated short-range communications. The antenna can be manufactured using an industrial loom and a laser prototyping machine, avoiding subsequent treatments, sewing procedures or coatings. The manufactured antenna presents a central working frequency of 5.9 GHz and a 9.3% bandwith. Good agreement between simulations and measurements has been achieved.

“…This technique allows the prototypes to be manufactured in the same process as the fabric is being fabricated, avoiding posterior treatments and making them suitable for large scale production. An initial methodology to design and simulate TIC and, in particular, Textile Integrated Waveguides (TIW), working in a range of frequencies in which the dimensions of the involved threads are comparable to the wavelength, has already been discussed in [19]. Therefore, a parametric three-step based modelling to simulate TIW has been presented.…”

Two millimetre-wave textile integrated waveguides, which only differ in the employed substrate, have been designed, manufactured and experimentally characterized. Both waveguides have been conceived to be based on the conventional substrate integrated waveguide technology while being fully integrated in textile. The manufactured prototypes have been characterized by using a back to back textile integrated waveguide to rectangular waveguide transition. The theoretically predicted behaviour of the prototypes has been experimentally verified.
