UWB Printed Q Slot Monopole for Use in Body Centric Wireless Communication

This paper suggests a miniaturized, simple structure, single feed, dual-polarized, UWB printed rectangularmonopole antenna(PRMA) for body-centric wireless communications. The design is based on etching a Q-slot on arectangular patch, and is optimized to develop the largest bandwidth in free space and close to the human body. Weanalyze the design of the proposed antenna and assess its performance in terms of bandwidth, and radiation patterns.Our results show that the Q-slot antenna maintains its bandwidth when placed in close contact with the human body, orin contact with breast-mimicking tissue phantoms. between.
