  • Abstract
    We study the impact of recurrent stretching on the performance of passive ultra-high frequency radio-frequency identification tag based on a textile antenna patterned from stretchable silver coated fabric. We also outline the simulation-based design of the antenna composed of this unconventional conductor and report the measured performance of the tag when attached to a shirt and worn in the upper arm.
