dc.description.abstract | We present a stochastic modeling strategy for studying a wearable
textile antenna under different manufacturing conditions. The studied
device is a patch antenna designed for energy harvesting, which operates
at the GSM and DCS bands, 900MHz and 1800MHz, respectively. The
performance of the conductive patch printed on a textile substrate
backed by a ground plane is investigated. A stochastic approach is
employed to assess the variability of the observable because of the
uncertainties introduced in the manufacturing process, such as
laminating and embroidering. | |
