COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EMBROIDERY AND SCREEN-PRINTING TECHNIQUES FOR TEXTILE-BASED FREQUENCY SELECTIVE SURFACES
Abstract
Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is a specialized structure used in the field of electromagnetic waves and radio frequency (RF) engineering. It is designed to exhibit selective transmission or reflection properties based on the frequency of the incident electromagnetic waves. This article describes the design, construction, and analysis of a textile-based band-stop frequency selective surface for use in the highly EM-polluted GSM, Wi-Fi, LTE, and WiMAX bands. A full-wave EM solver called CST Microwave Studio was used to develop and simulate the unit cell of the proposed FSS at the relevant frequency. In this study, embroidered and screen-printed textile based FSSs were designed. According to the results of this study, it was demonstrated that both embroidery and screen printing FSSs exhibit resonance at a frequency of 3.5 GHz. The screen printing method yielded the best results in terms of resonance frequency sensitivity, while the embroidery method showed a resonance frequency shift. It was observed that the stitch directions and density are important parameters in the embroidery method. Gaps between the embroidery paths in the production of embroidered FSSs resulted in differences from simulations due to the disruption of the structural integrity of the unit cell. Consequently, textile-based FSSs offer advantages over traditional FSSs. This study highlights the potential of textile FSSs as an effective means of reducing electromagnetic pollution, and suggests that further improvements in the design and production processes of textile FSSs can be made.
