[IEEE 2018 18th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM) - Waterloo, ON (2018.8.19-2018.8.22)] 2018 18th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM) - 3-D Printed Flexible Heterogeneous Substrates with Customizable Gain and Bandwidth
摘要： This paper presents a 3-D printed flexible heterogeneous substrate for wearable antennas with customizable bandwidth and gain. These performance parameters are modified by varying the ratio of percentage area of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) to NinjaFlex. Five flexible 3-D printed microstrip patch antenna (MPA) prototypes are designed, realized and measured each with different percentage area ratios, where the MPA’s RF performance is characterized with curvature. The five substrate designs are based on a combination of rigid ABS tiles of triangular shape surrounded with flexible NinjaFlex. All five designs show minimal antenna sensitivity to curvature, with a minimum resonant frequency shift of less than 1.2%. Results closely agree with simulations. Increasing the ABS area increases the MPA’s gain, but reduces the bandwidth and increases substrate rigidity. This results in a highly customizable and cost-effective substrate that allows the antenna designer flexibility in the choice of design parameters.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE International Conference on RFID Technology & Application (RFID-TA) - Macau, Macao (2018.9.26-2018.9.28)] 2018 IEEE International Conference on RFID Technology & Application (RFID-TA) - Glove-Integrated Slotted Patch Antenna for Wearable UHF RFID Reader
摘要： We present a glove-integrated slotted patch antenna for a wearable Ultra High Frequency Radio Identification Technology (UHF RFID) reader operating at 866 MHz. We tested the prototype antenna made of copper foil adhered on low-permittivity Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) foam material having the thickness of 4 mm. To characterize the antenna, we tested it wirelessly in communication with a common dipole type RFID tag to estimate its realized gain, radiation pattern and maximum tag read range it provides. We also analyzed the effects of variable separation between the antenna and the body to confirm stable operation required by the application. The results showed that the antenna feasible for the work glove applications providing the read range up to 360 cm with the reader’s output power of 28.4 dBm.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE International Conference on RFID Technology & Application (RFID-TA) - Macau, Macao (2018.9.26-2018.9.28)] 2018 IEEE International Conference on RFID Technology & Application (RFID-TA) - Fabrication and Practical Evaluation of Glove-integrated Passive UHF RFID Tags
摘要： Passive RFID-based technology is a convincing approach to achieve versatile energy- and cost-efficient wireless platforms for future wearable applications. In this paper, we present passive UHF RFID tags integrated into normal work gloves for wearable RFID applications. We introduce embroidery as a new efficient antenna fabrication method for glove-integrated tags as well as establish reference glove-tag antennas from electro-textiles and copper tape. The performance of the three types of glove-tags is evaluated on a male test subject in an anechoic room and in an office environment. Based on the wireless measurement results, the read ranges of the embroidered glove-tags were around 1 meter in an anechoic chamber and in an office, when measured near the human body. These results meet the requirements of many practical applications of glove-tags, although the read ranges are shorter than those of the electro-textile and copper tape tags that showed read ranges of 2-2.5 meters. Finally, the developed glove-tags were successfully tested in actual use situations for identification and access control. These results are very promising, especially considering the cost-effectiveness of embroidered tag antennas and the easiness of their integration into different types of gloves.

Photovoltaic Potential Assessment and Dust Impacts on Photovoltaic Systems in Iran: Review Paper
摘要： Smart-fabric interactive-textile systems offer exciting new possibilities, provided that they exhibit sufficient robustness and autonomy to be reliably deployed in critical applications. Textile multiantenna systems, unobtrusively integrated in a professional garment, are key components of such systems, as they set up energy-efficient and stable wireless body-centric communication links. Yet, their functionality may be further extended by exploiting their surface as energy-harvesting platform. Different state-of-the-art energy harvesters are suitable for compact integration onto a textile antenna. We demonstrate this by integrating a power management system, together with multiple diverse scavenging transducers and a storage module, on a well-chosen textile antenna topology. We provide guidelines to ensure that the additional hardware does not affect the textile antenna’s performance. Simultaneous scavenging from different energy sources significantly increases the autonomy of a wearable system, in the meanwhile reducing battery size.

Compact and Low-Profile UWB Antenna Based on Graphene-Assembled Films for Wearable Applications
摘要： In this article, a graphene-assembled ?lm (GAF)-based compact and low-pro?le ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) antenna is presented and tested for wearable applications. The highly conductive GAFs (~106 S/m) together with the ?exible ceramic substrate ensure the ?exibility and robustness of the antenna, which are two main challenges in designing wearable antennas. Two H-shaped slots are introduced on a coplanar-waveguide (CPW) feeding structure to adjust the current distribution and thus improve the antenna bandwidth. The compact GAF antenna with dimensions of 32 × 52 × 0.28 mm3 provides an impedance bandwidth of 60% (4.3–8.0 GHz) in simulation. The UWB characteristics are further con?rmed by on-body measurements and show a bending insensitive bandwidth of ~67% (4.1–8.0 GHz), with the maximum gain at 7.45 GHz being 3.9 dBi and 4.1 dBi in its ?at state and bent state, respectively. Our results suggest that the proposed antenna functions properly in close proximity to a human body and can sustain repetitive bending, which make it well suited for applications in wearable devices.

摘要： This paper proposes a new wearable planar inverted F antenna (PIFA). The antenna is co-designed with the ground plane based on characteristic mode theory. To obtain a wide matching bandwidth around 433 MHz, the ground is operated as the main radiator. The 2.4 GHz operating band is realized by embedding a slot within the PIFA patch. The final design shows an extremely small electrical size, relatively wide bandwidths, and reasonable radiation efficiencies in both bands. An analysis of the effect of bending shows the robust performance of the antenna.
