Wearable slot antenna at 2.45 GHz for off-body radiation: analysis of efficiency, frequency shift and body absorption

Marta Fernandez, Hugo G. Espinosa, David V. Thiel +1

The interaction of body worn antennas with the human body causes a significant decrease in the antenna efficiency and a shift in the resonant frequency. A resonant slot in a small…
