Annular ring microstrip antenna for body-worn applications

摘要

The concept of being connected anywhere and everywhere is the main driving force for developing and researching the potential Wireless Body Area Networks operated in WLAN and HiperLAN bands. This paper presents design, development and evaluation of a fully fabric annular ring microstrip antenna suitable for wearable applications in WLAN band. Both simulated and experimental results on the performance characteristics of this antenna are presented.
