The antenna is partially grounded so that the Q value is depressed and the impedance bandwidth is broadened. A small strip bar is loaded on each arm of the similar U-shaped radiator. The impedance bandwidth of the antenna overlap with IEEE 802.11a is rejected consequently. The geometry parameters of the antenna are investigated and optimized with HFSS. The measured bandwidth of the proposed antenna occupies about 7.89 GHz covering from 3.05 GHz to 10.94 GHz with expected notched band from 4.96 GHz to 5.98 GHz. A quasi-omnidirectional and quasi-symmetrical radiation pattern in the whole band is also obtained. As a result, a UWB wireless communication system can be simplified with the band-notched UWB antenna presented.展开更多

This antenna consists of two modified planar-monopole antenna elements with coplanar waveguides-fed printed on one side of the substrate. To enhance isolation and increase impedance bandwidth, a tree like stubs is placed on the ground plane at the 45°axis. The measured results show that the MIMO antenna operates from 2.3 GHz to 13 GHz, covering WLAN, WiMAX, and UWB. The low mutual coupling and low envelope correlation coefficient of less than 0.2 across the whole frequency band proved that this antenna was suitable for MIMO/diversity systems. Also, good performance of radiation patterns and the antenna’s compact size make it a good candidate for portable devices.展开更多

Measurement campaigns were first done in the chamber and then repeated in an indoor environment for comparison. The path loss parameter for eight different on-body radio channels has been characterized and analyzed. In addition, the path loss was modeled as a function of distance for 34 different receiver locations for propagation along the front part of the body. Results and analysis show that, compared with anechoic chamber, a reduction of 16.34% path loss exponent is noticed in indoor environment. The antenna shows very good on-body radio channel performance and will be a suitable candidate for future efficient and reliable body-centric wireless communications.展开更多
