Microwave Interconnects Between Textile And Rigid Substrates Using Permanent Magnets

This paper presents a new approach to the problem of the transition between a textile microwave system and a regular microwave system. A simulated model of a transition between copper conductive line and textile conductive line is presented, with a comparison between simulated and measured results of the same model showing reasonable to good agreement. The work aims to create a full textile remountable and flexible microwave connector.
