In this paper, the effect of the human body proximity on LPWAN antennas is investigated. Both numerical and experimental tests are performed on two different IoT devices. The obtained results show that the performance degradation caused by the body …
Body Area Networks (BAN) have received significant attention in recent years and have found a wide range of applications, including wearable devices for fitness and health tracking, and mobile communications. Battery lifetime continues to be the main …
In this paper a spline-shaped monopole radiator for utilization in Ultrawideband (UWB) Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) is presented. The antenna exhibits a good impedance matching and stable radiation patterns in the lower UWB band from 3.1 to …
