Wearable Antenna for Power Efficient On-Body and Off-Body Communications

dual band slotted patch antenna for on/off-body communications

body centric wireless communication (bcwc) has been the topic of much research in recent years. in this manuscript, a novel low-cost microstrip patch antenna is designed for on-/off-body communications with a dual-band operation. the proposed structure exhibits a monopole-like radiation pattern at 2.45ghz and a broadside radiation at 4.8ghz, simultaneously. lateral dimensions of 42 mm × 46 mm a...

Body Wearable Textile Antenna- A Survey

A body wearable antenna (BWA) is a hot topic for the research. In this paper various type of antennas are presented which are already available in literature. A BWA is a textile antenna, which is flexible and comfort. Sometime it is not necessary that space available for mounting the antenna is flat, so antenna should not change its characteristics during bending conditions. Rescue workers most...

A Compact Dual-Mode Wearable Antenna for Body-Centric Wireless Communications

The miniaturization of electronic devices is leading to the creation of body-centric wireless communications (BCWCs), in which wireless devices are attached to the human body. In particular, personal healthcare is considered as the biggest potential application. In this paper, we propose a compact wearable dual-mode (on-body and off-body modes) antenna for personal healthcare systems. For on-bo...
