Wearable computing demands an unobtrusive integration of
electronics into clothing in order to achieve user acceptance. Our approaches
for such an integration focus on a woven polyester fabric with embedded thin
copper wires as substrate for the electronics. An interconnect technology is
presented to establish arbitrary wiring structures among these wires. Our
component assembly method utilizes an innovative interposer design such that
arbitrary electronic components can easily be mounted onto the fabric.
Secondly, textile Bluetooth antennas are presented for
the use in 'wireless personal area networks'. They are purely textile using a
felt and a spacer fabric as dielectric and conductively plated fabrics for the
antenna patch and ground plane. The Bluetooth antennas satisfy specifications
even when bent.
Eventually, we show how the woven fabric can be used
as textile temperature sensor.
Ivo Locher received the MSc. degree in electrical engineering
with focus on signal processing from UCLA, Los Angeles in 2002, and the Dr. sc. ETH Zurich (PhD) degree in
information technology and electrical engineering from the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology Zurich, Switzerland in 2006. He joined the Electronics
Laboratory at ETH Zurich in Fall 2002 as a research
and teaching assistant in the Wearable Computing Group under Prof. Gerhard Tröster.
His research interests include wearable computing with
focus on system-on-textile packaging, signal processing and textile antennas.
