| dc.title | Wearable and fashion-oriented wireless IoT electronics based on textile antennas | en_US |
| dcterms.abstract | With advancements in textile manufacturing and technology, the role of textiles has expanded beyond traditional uses like insulation and aesthetics. Modern textiles are now integrating functionality and intelligence, leading to the emergence of smart textiles. Wearable devices, with applications spanning engineering, healthcare, sports, military, and entertainment, have demonstrated significant potential. As a key component of these devices, wearable antennas facilitate data communication within wireless body area networks (WBANs). To address the need for comfort, lightweight structure, discretion, and compatibility with user activities, soft and flexible textile materials have become a practical and economical alternative to conventional rigid materials in antenna fabrication. Additionally, textile antennas are transitioning from standard patterns to fashion-forward designs, highlighting their integration into stylish and functional wearables. | en_US |
| dcterms.abstract | Designing fashion-oriented wearable antennas with textile materials involves several challenges. First, the material must be flexible while delivering reliable electromagnetic performance, making it difficult to balance functionality and wearability. Second, as wearable antennas are often positioned close to the human body, factors such as the body's conductivity and dielectric constant can significantly influence their radiation characteristics and efficiency. To ensure consistent performance, designs must account for these body-loading effects under varying wear conditions. Lastly, such antennas must harmonize functionality with aesthetics, blending seamlessly into clothing designs while maintaining effective concealment. Irregularities in patterns can disrupt performance, demanding advanced design techniques to mitigate these impacts. | en_US |
| dcterms.abstract | In this project, we modeled the pattern of a newly released Fendi bag and used its shape as the basis for designing a textile antenna. We first performed simulation-based design of the antenna unit, achieving satisfactory performance by integrating a matching circuit. Subsequently, we assembled the antenna units into an array and conducted further simulations on the entire array. Finally, the antenna was fabricated, and its relevant performance parameters were tested. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of converting everyday periodic textile patterns into functional textile antennas capable of energy harvesting, thereby offering wide-ranging applications for smart wearable devices. | en_US |
