Screen printed antennas on textile substrate

This article deals with screen printed antennas on textile substrate that are used for data transmission between intelligent fireman suits. Today the smart textiles are developed in the whole world and research works are focused on integration of electronic devices and systems into textiles. There are different technologies how to do it. Screen printed electronic devices on textile substrates are one of the perspective possibilities how to create electronic devices on textiles. Screen printing technology uses conductive pastes for functional pattern creation. This technology reduces significantly the manufacturing cost, is simple to use and is more and more used in electronics.
