Description
Summary:The following article describes a new type of textile signal line that can be used in smart clothing. The article presents the structure of this line and the materials used for its construction. The article also presents the results of research on the influence of the line tensile force on the value of its characteristic impedance. The above tests were carried out on lines where the electrically conductive paths do not have the form of straight lines, as is often the case in smart clothing. The article also presents a preliminary statistical analysis, the aim of which was to find those characteristics of the substrate of the line that affect changes in the characteristic impedance during stretching.
