This paper focuses on the development and analysis of textile dipole antennas, exploring their design, fabrication, and performance. Among the available textile materials, denim and leather have been selected as the substrate due to their favorable mechanical strength, flexibility, low cost, and compatibility with everyday clothing. This study specifically investigates the use of glued copper sheet affixed to the denim or leather substrate, providing a practical and low-cost prototyping method. The antennas were designed and simulated using CST Studio Suite to evaluate their performance across different frequencies in the 0.9 GHz to 1.4 GHz range, which covers several important wireless communication bands, including GSM and ISM.

摘要

This paper focuses on the development and analysis of textile dipole antennas, exploring their design, fabrication, and performance. Among the available textile materials, denim and leather have been selected as the substrate due to their favorable mechanical strength, flexibility, low cost, and compatibility with everyday clothing. This study specifically investigates the use of glued copper sheet affixed to the denim or leather substrate, providing a practical and low-cost prototyping method. The antennas were designed and simulated using CST Studio Suite to evaluate their performance across different frequencies in the 0.9 GHz to 1.4 GHz range, which covers several important wireless communication bands, including GSM and ISM. The simulation process included an analysis of the antenna’s impedance matching, return loss, and radiation pattern. The paper concludes by identifying potential fields of application and proposing directions for future research focused on improving antenna durability, reducing SAR, and optimizing fabrication techniques.
