  • Abstract
    Wireless body-centric sensing systems require light-weight and wearable sensor nodes for remote health monitoring of people. This imposes the need for wearable antennas which are comfortable to the users. In this article we demonstrate the capability of conductive fabrics and embroidered structures in the fabrication of such antennas and sensors. We also outline their measured performance in several prominent applications.
