Characteristics of antennas and propagation channels in on-body communications have been ascertained. Earlier studies indicated that not only maximization of path loss between body-mounted devises by use of monopole-like antennas but also countermeasures against fading by use of multi polarization antennas may be an important issue. Multi polarization can be obtained by perturbing the patch antennas...
In recent years, body-centric wireless communications become an active area of research due to their various applications such as e-healthcare, support systems for specialized occupations, and personal communications. Since the candidate frequencies for body-centric wireless communications widely range from MHz to GHz, dielectric properties of the human body tissues, relative dimensions of the human...
Antennas and the propagation characteristics for body-area networks have become an active area of research. In this paper, a cavity slot antenna is proposed for onbody communications at 2.45 GHz. First, the antenna characteristics (input impedance, radiation pattern, and efficiency) are calculated by the finite-difference time-domain method. The results show that the proposed antenna has a relatively...
In this paper, a cavity-backed slot antenna for on-body BAN devices has been investigated. The electric field distributions inside and around the human body are numerically analyzed by the use of the FDTD method. According to the results, in the region on and near the human body, the dominant component of electric field is vertical to the body surface, and the propagation mode is assumed to be creeping...
