Abstract
This paper examines the effectiveness at 2.4 GHz of heterogeneous and homogeneous phantoms for assessing the performance of antennas used in close proximity to the body, as required for testing body-centric networks. The effects of tissue layering on the antenna performance were also investigated. A simple geometric homogeneous phantom was found to be adequate for body-mounted antenna measurements at this frequency.
