Interest in Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) has increased significantly in recent years
thanks to the advances in microelectronics and wireless communications. Owing to the very …

The low average birth rate in developed countries and the increase in life expectancy have
lead society to face for the first time an ageing situation. This situation associated with the …

In the last years the area of health monitoring has grown significantly, attracting the attention
of both academia and commercial sectors. At the same time, the availability of new …

In this paper, a 6-10-GHz ultrawideband (UWB) directional reduced-size wide slot antenna
(RWSA) for on-body wireless communications is proposed and investigated. The RWSA is …

Wireless body area networks (WBAN) play a key role in the future of e-Health. In response,
IEEE sets up working group 802.15. 6 to standardize WBAN schemes. Of all existing …

A Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN), introduced into the healthcare sector to improve
patient care and enhance the efficiency of medical services, also brings the risk of the …

An analytical model which predicts the attenuation of ultrawide-band (UWB) signals as they
traverse various inhomogeneous tissues is presented. The model provides a …

A dual-band MIMO antenna is proposed on the basis of artificial magnetic conductors
(AMC). The MIMO antenna consists of two water lily shaped printed monopole antennas and …

This letter presents a novel compact impedance matching layer (IML) to improve the
transmission efficiency of dual-band implantable medical devices (IMDs) operating in the …

In this paper, antennas for wireless body area network applications are introduced. An
epsilon negative zeroth-order resonance antenna and a compact planar inverted-F antenna …
