Abstract :
A plaster antenna for 2.45 GHz applications is presented. Measurement results for different use cases are given, and bending effects are examined. The proposed structure exhibits a 6 dBi on-body gain, and covers the 2.4-2.5 GHz ISM band in all use cases. The effect of bending the antenna on the SAR has been investigated by simulations. The antenna is suitable for medical applications.
