Abstract
This paper examines the far-field patterns of a monopole antenna mounted on different phantoms operating at the 5.8 GHz band. A 40cm height oval cross-section human body phantom is a good approximation for this analysis. The cost of the human equivalent liquid and the weight of the phantom can be reduced by using a hollow version of the proposed human body phantom.
