Impact of Body and Clothing on a Wearable Textile Dual Band Antenna at Digital Television and Wireless Communications Bands
Paper considers impact of body-worn antennas for wide-band operation. Work includes both modelling of structure and, most importantly, measurements on body phantom. Measurements show full (3D) radiation patterns for antenna over bandwidth and also its efficiency. This level of pattern analysis and efficiency calculations are very rarely found in literature and therefore analysis is world-leading. Design and analysis of body-worn antennas is an essential part of EPSRC Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration "SPHERE (a Sensor Platform for HEalthcare in a Residential Environment)" led by University of Bristol (EP/K031910/1, £12M, 2013-8).
