Body-centric wireless communication (BCWC) is assumed as core technology for healthcare and rescue applications which always needs a flexible and bendable antenna for near the body propagation. Multiple technologies terminated on a single antenna with suitable radiation and gain characteristics are the concern of antenna designers from few decades. A wide band antenna, covering variety of frequ...

In this paper, we evaluated the characteristics of the magnetic core loop antenna that is used to receive long wave radio signals for time standards. To evaluate the receiving sensitivity of the antenna, we calculated the antenna factor of the magnetic core loop antenna by combining a magnetic field simulation and a circuit simulation. The simulation results are in good agreement with the resul...

In this paper, we investigate and compare two different antenna types for UHF SATCOM applications; proposed Moxon type (bent dipole) and conventional egg beater (loop) antennas in terms of antenna performance and physical size. Bent dipole and egg beater antennas are simulated using HFSS software. Prototype antenna for Moxon type is also fabricated and measured for its return loss using Agilent...

A folded loop antenna for handsets has already been introduced and shown as one of balanced feed antennas for handsets, which is very effective to mitigate the antenna performance degradation due to the body effect. In addition, to be lower profile of folded loop antenna, Built-in folded dipole antenna, which has a structure folded loop elements sideway so that the antenna can be placed on the ...

In recent years, microstrip antennas become very popular because of their interesting advantages of low cost, low profile, light weight, easy fabrication and ease of analysis. Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) substrate is used as a part of antenna structure to improve the performance of the patch antenna. Usually, the performance of a patch antenna depends on the parameters such as Return Loss (R...

In this research, two radiofrequency identification (RFID) antenna sensor designs are tested for compressive strain measurement. The first design is a passive (battery-free) folded patch antenna sensor with a planar dimension of 61mm × 69mm. The second design is a slotted patch antenna sensor, whose dimension is reduced to 48mm × 44mm by introducing slots on antenna conducting layer to detour s...
