Abstract
This paper investigates the use of different techniques and conductive materials for the fabrication of textile patch antennas. Experimental results referring to the use of a conductive thread, an adhesive copper tape and an adhesive conductive non-woven fabric are reported and discussed. Reported results demonstrate the suitability of the proposed prototypes to be used for wearable applications.
