Abstract
This paper presents a new approach for transmitting signals across the surface of the human body. This involves using a length of stripline. Off-body communication can also be achieved by using a pair of microstrip dipoles. These dipoles operate within the 2.45 GHz ISM band. Four microwave switches are used to reconfigure the structure.
