Abstract :
Wire dipoles with textile Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) sheet-like waveguide were designed to investigate the possibility of transmission enhancement between antennas. The substrate for the AMC is made of fleece fabric, while the patches and ground are made of SHIELDIT fabric. The AMC surface is designed to have in-phase reflection at 2.45GHz with the aim to improve the transmission between antennas. The S11 and S21 performances of two antennas with textile AMC sheet was investigated rigorously. The effect of different antennas´ positioning was also considered.
