Stability and Efficiency of Screen-Printed Wearable and Washable Antennas
Abstract
Wearable antennas, integrated into garments, are prone to get dirty. Therefore, for the first time in literature, washable antennas are proposed by covering textile antennas by a breathable thermoplastic polyurethane coating, protecting the antennas against water absorption and corrosion. The washability of coated wearable antennas produced by screen printing conductive ink onto a textile substrate is compared to coated wearable antennas based on an electrotextile, analyzing performance in terms of their reflection coefficient and radiation efficiency before and after washing. The combination of screen printing and coating provides stable antenna performance with sufficiently high radiation efficiency after several washing cycles.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
