Flexible and Wearable RF Antennas for Healthcare and Body-Area Networks: A Comprehensive ReviewBy Shruti Kulkarni, Vaibhav Godase
Abstract: Flexible and wearable radio-frequency (RF) antennas are important enabling components for body-centric wireless systems because they provide the communication interface between physiological sensors, wearable nodes, personal gateways, and remote healthcare platforms. Unlike conventional antennas mounted on rigid circuit boards, wearable antennas must operate in close proximity to lossy, dispersive, heterogeneous biological tissues while tolerating bending, stretching, compression, perspiration, laundering, and repeated attachment. These coupled electromagnetic, mechanical, environmental, and human-factors requirements …
