Abstract :
The aim of this communication is to describe a radiating system specifically designed for wireless through-the-wall communications. The antenna is capable to operate on walls with relative permittivity in the range 1-9 keeping a reflection coefficient lower than -10 dB. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed design.
