Abstract :
All textile antennas for self-monitoring biomedical applications are proposed All components of proposed antennas are made of textile materials. The felt material is used as an antenna substrate. The radiating elements are made by conductive fabric and threads. To analyze the body effect on the antenna performance, muscle-equivalent phantoms are used.
