Wearable Miniaturized PIFA for Smart Garments

摘要

A miniaturized PIFA design for textile integrated wearable devices is presented. The footprint of the PIFA is reduced by modifying the radiating element, while a lateral feed mechanism is employed to ensure a low profile. The proposed design includes a felt substrate, making it suitable for integration into garments and clothing items. Simulations and experimental validations are discussed.
