摘要: Incorporating microstrip antennas (MSAs) into geotextile materials is a promising alternative to utilize advanced wireless capabilities such as traffic monitoring public transportation infrastructures. Together with reference MSA, three geotextile–microstrip–hybrid (GA) different plain weave configurations were fabricated. Full-wave simulation and experimental results confirm that the fabric pattern of GA affects its radiation characteristics. The dominant TM010x mode MSA disturbed by placing conductive wires in weft direction only. Meanwhile, higher order TM002x exists yields patterns more suitable for roadbed-based communication application. This suggests it possible manipulate characteristic controlling weaving configuration. A preliminary package error rate test also performed feasibility using complimentary hardware discussed.
