Sažetak

Textile antennas are sensitive to moisture. The influence of moisture on a resonant textile PIFA antenna as well as on a wideband textile monopole antenna have been investigated by observing the input reflection coefficient. Different behavior was observed depending on the moisture content and on antenna type. The resonant PIFA is significantly more sensitive to the moisture content. Waterproofing techniques applicable to textile antennas have been considered. Experimental verification of three waterproofing approaches have been performed.
