Abstract :
In this paper, a novel foldable textile antenna array is proposed for mobile router applications. The antenna array is composed of four antenna elements on a felt textile substrate and manufactured using an adhesive electro-textile. Two antenna elements are constructed by using double feeding on a rectangular monopole, and their isolation is improved by a decoupling slit. Another two antennas are placed after rotating them by 180°. A slit on the ground plane is introduced to further improve the isolation.
