Crosstalk characterization of fabrics elaborated with conductive yarns

The electrical characterization of crosstalk of fabrics elaborated with conductive yarns is investigated. The impact of the source, victim and ground traces location is reported. The experimental results show that the crosstalk in fabrics is higher in comparison with other conductive media. Nevertheless, the results show that the standard strategies to reduce the coupling between lines can be used on fabrics. Doing this, fabrics elaborated with conductive yarns can be used as a conductive media for digital buses, which can help to improve the integration of electronic devices in textile.
