Abstract
Transmission line measurements have shown a potential in characterization of conductive textiles for SoftWearAntenna applications. Decrease in the conductivity of the fabric is seen to decrease the propagation velocity of a wave. This is expected to have a lowering effect on the operation frequency of textile antennas based on conductive fabrics when compared with antennas utilizing copper as conductive elements.
