Abstract :
This paper presents alternative methods for connecting parts of textile stripline transmission lines. The proposed scenarios for striplines connection exclude completely the use of a coaxial connector (e.g. SMA). This makes them more suitable for wearable applications which require flexible interconnections between wearable antennas and electronics.
