Abstract :
With the recent development of wireless communication technology, wireless body area network (WBAN) has received great attention. WBAN devices can be classified depending on location: in-body, on-body, and off-body. A repeater can be required in order to realize various wireless communication services such as in-body to on-body and on-body to off-body communications. In this paper, two dual-mode antennas for WBAN repeater applications are proposed.
