Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) systems are the future technology of health monitoring. This paper is focused on the development of a flexible, robust, lightweight, and non-obtrusive antenna in application to a health-monitoring WBAN system for the University of North Dakota (UND) next generation spacesuit 2 (NDX-2). The research on WBAN in space, will both improve future astronaut's safety during...
This paper proposes a compact polygon shaped split ring monopole antenna (SRMA) for 2.4/5.0/5.9/7.0 GHz WLAN/WAVE/ITU band applications. The single ring polygon split ring resonator (SRR) structure makes the antenna design simple and compact compared with conventional dual ring SRRs. A wideband behavior is achieved in the upper frequency band by the use of multiple similar edges of polygon and the...
In this paper, a miniature UHF-band Zigbee antenna is proposed. Considering a lighter weight and smaller footprint of the Zigbee platform attached to a walking person, the antenna is meandered on the top and partially short circuited on the bottom, and optimized with non-uniform widths and lengths of the radiating element, and capillary paths. Due to these contributing factors, the physical area is...
In this paper, a 6–10-GHz ultrawideband (UWB) directional reduced-size wide slot antenna (RWSA) for on-body wireless communications is proposed and investigated. The RWSA is designed to be narrow in width and can be mounted on the side of a wireless device. When a side-mounted RWSA is worn on a body, the antenna boresight is naturally directed along the body surface, and most of the energy can be...
This paper presents a novel concept which proposes the use of an ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) ultra small scale wireless interconnect scheme for use within a electrically small enclosure. Such ultra small environments (size ≤ 10 wavelengths) are topologically much more complex, being more cluttered, than typical indoor environments (size ≥ 10 wavelengths). The concept is presented using an aluminium...
Design parameters for an ideal wireless sensor network include minimal size and energy consumption, local intelligence for self-assembly and data processing, minimum data transmission over maximum range, ad hoc deployment and redundant path allocation. This paper reviews some of the recent developments in antenna design for wireless sensor networks.
The design of a triple-band planar monopole antenna is proposed. This antenna covers IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g WLAN bands. Since the antenna is printed on a substrate, it can be easily integrated with the associated microstrip circuits lying on the same plane of the substrate. The antenna has been designed by using IE3D, a full wave MoM simulator from Zeland, USA. The characteristics of the...
This study proposes a small antenna operating in triple-band for mobile terminal equipment applications with 3-dimension (3-D) model. The first radiator, Rl, mainly contributes the region of the low frequency band, 2.40 ~ 2.48 GHz. The second radiator, R2, is used to create the region of the high frequency band, Unlicensed Nil - 5 GHz (5.12 ~ 5.35 GHz), by the conception of coupling between the two...
Microstrip Antennas (MSAs) consist of a metallic radiating patch on one side of thin dielectric substrate and other side is ground plane. Most important advantages of MSAs are low profile, light weight and compatibility with integrated circuit technology. MSAs are used in mobile communication, satellite communication, radar, direct broadcasting, global positioning systems and remote sensing. The major...
