Abstract

This study is focused on the construction of a dipole meander textile antenna that exhibits a stable communication system in military applications. The geometric shape of the antenna was calculated and determined based on the fact that dipole antennas geometry shows the highest performance at the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) frequency band. The High Frequency Simulator Structure (HFSS) program was used for stimulation of the proposed antenna. The fabrication method chosen for the realization of this antenna is the automatic embroidery method, as this method offers high durability in use. The paper aimed to have a textile antenna to operate in the frequency band 868-970 MHz (frequency band defined by NATO), and this was achieved by the proposed textile antenna.
