A comparison of embroidered and screen-printed Ultra-Wideband antennas

This paper presents a research focused on a comparison of two antennas made on a textile substrate by two different technologies and optimized for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communication. The first used technology was embroidering and the second one was screen-printing. The objective of the research was to achieve a flexible and washable antenna which would be possible to integrate into clothes without any side effects on its functionality.
