Textile Antennas for On-Body Sensors

Davor Bonefačić

Sažetak

Guidelines for modification of conventional antenna design to yield efficient operation in body-centric environment are presented. The interaction of the antenna and human body is investigated by modeling the wave propagation around torso. Two types of wearable antennas based on modifying quarter-wavelength shorted patch are designed and manufactured, while integration of the antennas and RFID sensors into the everyday clothes is addressed.
