Abstract
An assessment of a Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) for wearable applications is presented. The textile FSS array was created on 0.8 mm thick felt material using a fast and cost effective embroidery technique with conducting threads. This operates at 2 GHz with transmission coefficient lower than 10 dB. The FSS structure was also modelled using commercial simulation tools. This work is towards low-loss textile FSS structures for wearable applications.
