Abstract
Conference Title: 2016 IEEE Middle East Conference on Antennas and Propagation (MECAP) Conference Start Date: 2016, Sept. 20 Conference End Date: 2016, Sept. 22 Conference Location: Beirut, Lebanon This is an era of wearable gadgets which demands flexible and wearer friendly wireless components. This paper presents a modified inverted-F antenna (IFA) which has seamlessly been integrated with the fabric through inkjet printing. Surface roughness of the textile has been reduced using a rapid UV curable flexible interface layer. Smooth interface layer helps achieving very fine features which may be required for complicated antenna and circuit traces.
