title = "All-Textile Microwave Absorber for Wearable Applications",
abstract = "An all-textile low-cost microwave absorber for wearable applications is proposed. It has excellent wearability and broadband absorption greater than 10 dB from 3 to 18 GHz, making it suitable for wearable applications, for instance, an electromagnetic interference (EMI) vest. The wide band absorption is achieved by using textile materials with appropriate loss characteristic. Importantly, these textile materials empower the absorber with exceptional mechanical flexibility, maximizing wearing experience of the end user. A prototype is fabricated and experimentally characterized for the X-band from 8 to 12 GHz to validate the design. The good agreement between simulation and measurement successfully validates the proposed design, demonstrating a promising all-textile absorber for wearable applications.",
