Microwave measurement techniques for wearable antennas

This research is germane to the area of on-body antennas and the characterisation of antennas in close proximity to biological matter. The ranges of frequencies discussed are currently popular for mobile communications, namely 0.9GHz to 6GHz with spot frequencies of GSM900, GSM1800 and WiFi2.5GHz. P...

Microwave measurement techniques for wearable antennas
description This research is germane to the area of on-body antennas and the characterisation of antennas in close proximity to biological matter. The ranges of frequencies discussed are currently popular for mobile communications, namely 0.9GHz to 6GHz with spot frequencies of GSM900, GSM1800 and WiFi2.5GHz. Particular attention is given to the elimination of errors in measurement. This is achieved by the characterisation of an anechoic chamber; a study of the effects of cables; a study of the interaction of surface currents and the human body; a study of tissue simulating liquid; the design of a simple body phantom; the characterisation of the on-body channel for human males in wet and dry clothing and a comparison of perturbation on antennas close to humans and a phantom.
