Abstract

This paper presents the study of body gain in a Body worn antenna system using both measurement and simulation. The simulation has been done in XFdtd, EM (electromagnetic) simulation software, using a 3D-surface scan of a test person. The gesture of the body and positions of antennas on the 3D body surface in the simulation were extracted from data obtained by a motion capture system while the actual measurement was taking place using the dual band metallic button antennas. Additional simulation is done on a standard model available in XFdtd to compare the quality of created 3D model from this research.
