Abstract
A body-worn, meandered flare dipole was presented for operation at UHF frequencies. Measurements and simulations provided reference for its performance and applicability. Some mounting options were discussed and additional configurations will be discussed at the conference. As is evident from the given patterns, the body-worn antenna is highly sensitive to its location and mounting. Moreover, considering the posture, clothing and human body variation it is clear that wearable antennas require a statistical approach for their analysis.
