Textile SIW Structures Without Via Holes Using Self-Adhesive Conductive Tapes

The paper presents the use of conductive self-adhesive tapes with conductive adhesive to modify microstrip lines on textiles and create substrate-integrated waveguides (SIW). The SIW structure is without via holes and use tapes with conductive adhesive for shorting edges. Half-mode SIW is chosen as better option. Filter is constructed on half-mode SIW and also modified with tapes with conductive adhesive.
