Flexible textile antenna for detection of 5G bandwidth in wearable systems

In this work, we fabricated a flexible textile antenna suitable for wearable devices compatible with 5G band n78, from 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz. The production of the textile antenna uses low cost and scalable processes, while still enabled to maintain the flexibility of the textile. The antenna was designed to work at 3.5 GHz, as it preserves its return loss behaviour under bending deformation.
