The article describes research into the transmission properties of textile signal lines (TSLs) made using ultrasonic welding technology. The presented TSLs are made from electroconductive, nickel coated, fabric strips welded between non-conducting textile layers. The article presents an analysis of the usability of the ultrasonic welding method for creating TSLs. This analysis shows that direct welding of an electroconductive path with the substrate increases its linear resistance, making it impossible to create a properly functioning line. This article presents an alternative method of creating the line using ultrasound welding technology.
