摘要: As one of the efficient structures for soft body armor, three-dimensional (3D) woven structure has relatively good properties. In this study, concept conformal microstrip antennas integrated into 3D is proposed, which anticipated application in modern wireless communication. For comparison, with copper foil patch and yarn are both fabricated. The return losses show that have adequate values resonant frequencies L band range. main beam level gain antenna lower than those antenna, mainly due to low electrical conductivity patch. Under certain curvatures, loss radiation pattern curved not significantly different from planar one, indicating conformability type antenna.
