One of the most relevant challenges of next generation in-body devices consists in enhancing the medical applications of wireless networks qualitatively. The current standard does not allow high data rate wireless connections between implanted nodes. UWB systems have been considered as a potential candidate for future in-body devices. To establish a proper link within UWB, antenna matching should...
UWB systems have been proposed as a candidate for the next generation of in-body applications. In order to perform reliable UWB channel measurements, implantable antennas should work in the propagation medium properly. To assess the UWB channel performance, in-body antenna matching should be assured. Besides, an omnidirectional radiation pattern in order to communicate with a sensor array located...
This paper considers a liver implanted antenna and its associated radio telemetric channel using ultra wideband (UWB) technology. The performance of both the implant antenna and the radio channel is evaluated numerically and experimentally using human equivalent multilayer phantom to obtain S-parameter results within the 4–8 GHz band for various distances between the implanted antenna and a body-worn...
Two dielectric resonators antenna (DRA) fed through slotted microstrip line for a wideband application is proposed. The two cylindrical DRs are asymmetrically situated with respect to the rectangular coupling aperture center with a defected ground plane. By optimizing the design parameters, two antenna configurations have been achieved: the first covering an impedance bandwidth of about 57%, from...
The purpose of this draft is to introduce a compact CPW-fed antenna with WLAN band notched characteristics. For band notched characteristics, an inverted L-shaped structure is used on the surface of radiator.

We show that dispersion characteristics of antenna patterns should be taken into account when developing systems using UWB signals. The accuracy of measurement of angular coordinates of objects using UWB pulses is increased by optimizing their shape based on known characteristics of the antenna system and at least partially known characteristics of the investigated signal source. Optimization algorithms...

Rotation for multiple angles leads to an enhancement in impedance bandwidth. The selected UWB antenna has fabrication dimensions of 45 mm × 31mm × 1.27 mm. The rotation of the inner rings occur clockwise and counter clockwise for −47°, 33° and 10°. The preferable enhanced...
In this paper, a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) printed circuit board antenna with dual band-notched characteristics is presented. The antenna consists of a circular patch with two pairs of the L-resonator. To realize the notch characteristics in WLAN at 5.2 GHz (5.15–5.35 GHz) and 5.8 GHz (5.725–5.875 GHz) bands, the half wavelength of L-resonator is introduced in the radiating patch. The T-shape notch...

Multi-objective optimization yields indispensable information about the best possible design trade-offs of an antenna structure, yet it is challenging if full-wave electromagnetic (EM) analysis is utilized for performance evaluation. The latter is a necessity for majority of contemporary antennas as it is the only way of achieving acceptable modeling accuracy. In this paper, a procedure for accelerated...
In this paper, size reduction of antenna structures taking reflection response and total efficiency into account has been investigated.
