摘 要：This paper gives the design and fabrication of a three dimensionally textile composite integrated microstrip array antenna. The antenna was designed to work in the L band range. The simulated and measured return losses were in good agreement for the antenna. By using the array configuration, the radiation pattern of the array antenna showed more concentrating main beam and smaller back lobe. In addition, the gain of the array antenna reached 2.28 *** is the first trial for this textile composite based array antennas and showed adequate electromagnetic properties.
