Examples　are　presented　of　three　new　methods　for　preparing　electromagnetic　(EM)　textiles　for　a　variety　of　applications.　These　are　metalized　textiles　containing　pores　and　meshes,　textiles　with　planar　periodic　structures,　and　space-structured　textiles.　Firstly,　an　aluminum　foil　model　with　pores　was　prepared,　then　metalized　textiles　with　pores,　and　finally　silver-coated　nylon　net　fabrics,　and　the　relationship　between　shielding　effectiveness　(SE)　and　pore　structure　was　studied.　The　size　of　the　pores　and　the　distance　between　them　obviously　influence　the　SE,　and　in　particular　the　pores　on　the　metalized　fabrics　decrease　the　SE.　Secondly,　the　factors　affecting　the　frequency　selective　surface　(FSS)　of　the　metal　were　analyzed　and　a　FSS　textile　was　prepared　as　a　band-pass　filter.　The　FSS　fabric　with　non-conductive　periodic　units　on　the　conductive　fabric　surface　showed　good　resonance　peaks.　Finally,　three　types　of　space-structured　EM　textiles,　including　a　plush　fabric,　a　warp-knitted　spacer　fabric,　and　a　velvet　fabric　were　constructed　using　different　conductive　yarn　blends.　The　EM　reflection　coefficient　curves　showed　that　these　structures　also　obviously　affected　the　EM　properties.　The　three　types　of　new　EM　fabrics　were　soft　and　light　compared　with　traditional　metallic　EM　devices.　There　is　still,　however,　a　long　way　to　go　to　establish　the　exact　relationship　between　the　structure　and　EM　properties　of　these　new　EM　textiles.
