Abstract
Compact RF communicators with integral sensing systems are attracting substantial interest for monitoring medical patients, environmental parameters and material flow. These devices, known as wireless motes are very small with their built in antennas. Significant factors in their effectiveness are the size and efficiency of their antennas. This paper proposes a modified antenna for mote applications.
