This paper will review the evolution of wearable textile antennas over the last couple of decades. Particular emphasis will be given to the process of embroidery. This technique is advantageous for the following reasons: (i) bespoke or mass produced designs can be manufactured using digitized embroidery machines; (ii) glue is not required and (iii) the designs are aesthetic and are integrated into clothing rather than being attached to it. The embroidery technique will be compared to alternative manufacturing processes. The challenges facing the industrial and public acceptance of this technology will be assessed. Hence, the key opportunities will be highlighted.

UHF RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tag antennas are proposed for automotive tire applications, which are flexible and sufficiently broadband for a wide variety of tire materials and construction. The RFID tags may be mounted on or in the tires to monitor their condition and provide history data. The influence of the rubber material on the tag's performance is studied, and a broadband tag antenna is proposed which remains tuned on dielectrics of varying permittivity and thickness. Furthermore, a textile-based RFID antenna is fabricated and tested. The flexibility and durability of this antenna makes it a perfect candidate for RFID tire applications.

“…The use of textile substrate is justified by the increasing need to develop lightweight and flexible devices that could be attached to garments and applied in several areas. For example, several authors have investigated the use of textile substrates, such as microstrip antenna substrates, for applications in biomedical fields [4], surveillance and security systems [5], and telecommunications systems [6].…”

This work presents the analysis of monopole microstrip antennas with truncated ground plane and patch geometry inspired on the Mandelbrot fractal curve for applications in UWB systems. The proposed antenna geometry is analyzed using the Wave Concept Iterative Procedure (WCIP), a full-wave method. Results for the proposed antenna operating frequency, bandwidth, VSWR, gain, and radiation pattern are obtained and discussed. The WCIP results are compared with simulation results provided by HFSS software, for validation purpose. In addition, a prototype antenna is built and measured. A good match between WCIP theoretical and simulation, HFSS simulation, and measurement results is observed for the antenna frequency response.
