Popis: |
A unique circularly polarized (CP) compact wearable dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) has been proposed for off-body communication in wireless body area network (WBAN) applications. The design is singly fed and a new H-shaped conformal metal strip has been used to excite the DRA. A circular polarization over a bandwidth of ~9.6% (7.47-8.25 GHz) in conjunction with an impedance matching bandwidth of ~20.7% (6.95-8.68 GHz) has been offered by the antenna. A prototype has been fabricated and measured. The antenna has been tested both in free space and on-body environment. A robust performance has been offered by the antenna against human body lossy effects. The measured results agree very well with the simulated results. |
