在民用和军用领域，人们对可穿戴天线和电子产品的兴趣与日俱增。在民用领域，正在向普适计算迈进，它利用放置在身体周围的各种电子设备。电子设备通常涉及用于传输娱乐媒体、信息源和社交的通信元件。通信可以通过体内通道在设备之间进行，也可以与外部设备进行。灵活的共形天线对于提供低调的解决方案至关重要。在军事领域，当前对网络中心战和更复杂的身体佩戴传感器的强调，与减轻士兵负担的愿望形成了鲜明对比。灵活的、共形的、可穿戴的电子设备和天线提供了满足这些相互冲突的要求的技术。本文介绍了集成到服装中的可穿戴天线的发展和评估。这项工作考虑了工作在100 MHz到1 GHz的天线。讨论了几种施工方法和材料的优缺点。给出了佩戴在身上的集成天线的测量辐射方向图和输入阻抗。
There is an increasing interest in wearable antennas and electronics in both the civil and military domains. In the civil domain there is a move towards pervasive computing which utilises various electronic devices placed around the body. Electronic devices typically involve a communications element for transfer of entertainment media, information sources and social interaction. Communication may occur between devices through an on-body channel or to external devices. Flexible, conformal antennas are essential to provide an unobtrusive solution. In the military domain the current emphasis on network centric warfare and more complex body worn sensors contrasts with a desire to reduce the burden on the soldier. Flexible, conformal, wearable electronics and antennas provide technology to satisfy these conflicting requirements. This paper presents the development and assessment of wearable antennas which are integrated into clothing. This work considers antennas operating from 100MHz to 1GHz. Advantages and disadvantages of several construction methods and materials are discussed. Measured radiation patterns and input impedances are presented for the integrated antennas worn on the body.
