Electronic Fabrics is an emerging topic in the field of Smart Textiles. This paper discusses
potential technologies to embed electronic circuits into fabrics. Our approach focused on a
woven fabric with unobtrusively embedded copper wires that guaranteed usual wearing
comfort. Manufacturing, electrical, as well as mechanical aspects of our technologies,
were addressed. We explain how interconnects and wiring structures were established
within the fabric. Wiring structures were specified by DC resistance, frequency response
and line impedance Z0. Our measurements revealed flat frequency responses up to 2 GHz
and line impedances in the range of 250 Ω for textile transmission lines. Eventually, we
showed that our fabric equipped with electronics withstood the tensile stresses and
humidity impacts of daily usage. The presented technologies allow realization and wiring of
medium-sized electronic circuits on fabrics with signal frequencies up to several 100 MHz.
