Diminishing SAR for Wearable UHF Antennas

Anja Skrivervik, Jovanche Trajkovikj

This letter presents a study on the specific absorption rate (SAR) evaluation of UHF wearable antennas. A planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) intended to operate in wireless body area networks (WBANs) is taken as an example for the investigation. The presence ...

Compact UWB antennas for Wireless Body Area Networks (W-BANs)

Anja Skrivervik, Jean-François Zürcher, Jovanche Trajkovikj

A major issue in Wireless Body Area Networks (W-BAN) is the reliability of the transmission in all conditions, thus in all locations and positions of the wearer. One way to achieve this is to design communication systems as independent as possible to the p ...
