In this program for the US Army, Foster-Miller integrated data and communications antennas into a soldier uniform, maintaining full antenna performance, together with the same ergonomic functionality and weight of an existing uniform. We determined that a loop-type antenna would be the best choice for clothing integration without interfering in or losing function during operations, and then chose suitable body placement for antennas. With Foster-Miller's extensive experience in electro-textile fabrication, we built embedded antenna prototypes and evaluated loop antenna designs. The program established feasibility of the concept and revealed specific loop antenna design tradeoffs necessary for field implementation.
