摘要: This letter introduces a new technique of inkjet printing antennas on textiles. A screen-printed interface layer was used to reduce the surface roughness polyester/cotton material that facilitated continuous conducting surface. Conducting ink create three inkjet-printed microstrip patch antennas. An efficiency 53% achieved for fully flexible antenna with two layers ink. Measurements bent around polystyrene cylinder indicated second improved robustness bending.
